The Museo Storico dello Sbarco in Sicilia 1943 is a World War II museum dedicated to Operation Husky — the Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943. Located inside the cultural complex Le Ciminiere (former sulphur refineries), it uses immersive reconstructions, original artefacts, and testimonies to tell the story of the liberation.
The museum was inaugurated in 2002 inside a converted industrial building. It documents the period from Mussolini's fall to the liberation of Sicily, focusing on the impact on Catania — one of the most heavily bombed Sicilian cities. The collection was assembled from donations by veterans and local families.
