Salerno Landing Museum

The Museum of Landing and Salerno Capital is located in via Clark 5, and is a little-known but very interesting museum focused on Operation Avalanche, the landing of the Allies on the coast of Salerno which took place on 9 September 1943, and on the period in which Salerno was the capital of Italy.

A museum of great educational value that retraces the stages of both Operation Avalanche and the period in which Salerno was the capital of Italy, even if only for five months in the period that followed the landing in Salerno.

The exhibits on display are about 200 and include photos, videos, weapons, objects and other testimonies of the landing of the Allies in Salerno in 1943. Outside the museum you can see an M4 Sherman tank, a jeep belonging to the Americans, and a railway carriage with which the Nazis deported Italian Jews to concentration camps.

The Landing Museum is in all respects a “museum of memory“.

To get there you have to take bus no. 5 and get off at Via Generale Clark.
