This is a wonderful museum for anyone interested in the immigrant/emigrant story. Many people have said they were disappointed that it was only in English, however on the edge of each photo, there is a quickscan barcode, and if you just hold your QR code reader up to the English barcode, it will automatically take a picture and then it will give you an English translation of what is written, as well as most, if not all, of the photos. It might be easier to read on an tablet, but even with a phone, it works well. You can also save this to read later. There is also a very nice small English book in the gift shop for 5€ that has many of the photos and pictures in it. I recommend downloading a good QR scanner as it seems more and more museums may be going to this wonderful technology.

It was fascinating to see the Museo Paolo Cresci during our trip to Lucca. Even though the museum had all descriptions in Italian, which makes sense since this is Italy, I was surprised to see a photo of the Castroville sign in Castroville, California. It is the artichoke capital of California and apparently there were a number of Lucca immigrants there.
