The Versilian Archaeological Museum Bruno Antonucci, is located in the municipality of Pietrasanta.
The museum collection is the result of the search for archaeological finds by the Versilian Speleological and Archaeological Group, led by Professor Bruno Antonucci. The artefacts found tell the story of Versilia from Prehistory to the Middle Ages.
The museum itinerary is divided into thematic areas, each dedicated to a particular historical period in Versilia

The Pierluigi Gherardi Sketches Museum was born from an idea of Jette Muhlendorph, Danish photographer, journalist and art critic. Around 1980 she collected vast photographic documentation on the tradition of craftsmanship typical of the city at the workshops and foundries of Pietrasanta.
A few years later, in 1984, the Museum of Sketches was founded, based in the sixteenth-century ex-convent of Sant’Agostino.
The Giovanni Pascoli House Museum, in Castelvecchio Pascoli di Barga, is the villa where the poet lived, first as a tenant and then as an owner, from 1895 to 1912, the year of his death, during the holidays from teaching commitments.
The museum and archaeological complex of the Cathedral has an excellent heritage of works of art and ancient testimonies that tell the millennial history of the Cathedral of Lucca, the result of the meeting over the centuries between artists, men of religion, merchants and illustrious personalities.
The Civic Archaeological Museum of Camaiore is housed in the Palazzo Tori Massoni, located in the historic center, built by the Orsucci family from Camaiore towards the end of the 1500s.
The Paolo Cresci Museum for the History of Italian Emigration is dedicated to the Florentine scholar Paolo Cresci (1943-1997), who, thanks to his passion for photography, collected over the years a vast archive of documents, books and photographs on history of emigration, creating what will later become the first core of the museum. When he passed away, the Province of Lucca acquired the collection, establishing in 2002 a Foundation destined to create and manage the Museum.
