Museo Diocesano Leonello Barsotti, Livorno

Located in the former chapel of the seminary library Girolamo Gavi, the Leonello Barsotti Museum exhibits sacred items such as 17th-century liturgical outfits, paintings, furniture and items used in Catholic services. The pieces on display here were gathered from numerous places of worship. The museum was among the first in Italy to use the technology of "bee tags", where visitors can learn about exhibits through the use of a phone.
