This is a really lovely museum set in a very interesting building in the center of Sorrento. The first little corridor is not very inspiring, but it's easy to get completely immersed in finding out what's in all the little draws in the next three floors. My partner who is an architect was absolutely entranced by the quality of the sketch work and the beautiful and unusual shapes of some of the furniture. It's also really lovely how the museum sets the scene (social, industry, fashion etc.) before moving on to much of the tarsilinear work so that the scenes depicted can be really understood. The woodworking tools were also fascinating, as was the discussion of wood staining. You can easily spend 2 hours here if you take the time to get the most out of it. Well worth a visit.
If you only have time for one thing in Sorrento visit this museum. The wood work is absolutely beautiful. The detail in mosaics and all sorts of designs is incredible without the use of modern technology. You can find similar wood work in a couple shops around Sorrento but you should really check out the history behind it.
The museum has furniture and products with wood inlay. Some of most beautiful furniture I have seen and beautiful art pictures. Cheap to visit and worth it.
Amazing collection of pictures and documents providing a very detailed history of Sorrento as an addition to a really fascinating museum and story of wood inlaying, including some ancient and modern pieces. Really (perhaps surprisingly, for a holiday destination!) interesting and absorbing.
We passed an hour or so here as a way to pass some interesting time. We thought it good but not great for a non-specialist in the art of veneer inlays. I imagine that a wood worker could find the museum fascinating.
