Lonely Planet review

The Museo Cassinelli houses a private archaeological collection in the basement of a Mobil gas station. The displays are fascinating, with hundreds of pieces that certainly don't belong under a gritty petrol dispensary.

Have a look at the bird-shaped whistling pots, which produce clear notes when air is blown into them (ask the curator to show you). Superficially, the pots are very similar, but when they are blown, each produces a completely different note that corresponds to the different calls of male and female birds.
