I had visited their official website and don't remember reading anything relevant to not accepting credit card for ticket purchase. I was denied entrance, since I didn't had any cash with me at that time. The woman there showed me a sign written in Italian, that mentioned the credit card denial.

If you like small, intimate museums and oriental art, this is the place for you.…

Overall well worth a visit and very uncrowned - we had the place pretty much to ourselves…

An interesting building, but the collection is presented with absolutely no background, just kind of thrown together. The walk climb through the park is certainly worth the trip. Just don't expect much of your museum experience.

The climb up the hill was worth it. One might not expect a museum of Japanese artefacts in Genoa, but this was a really good collection, well laid out, and interspersed with some interesting glass art. The setting is also good with a view from the top. It was also good value.
