In the Capo Falcone territory you can find only one museum in the village of Stintino: we are talking about the museum of "Tonnara", but not very far from here, on the road towards Alghero there is the Sella e Mosca museum while at Sassari there is the Archaologic and Ethnographic Museum G. A. Sanna.

  • Museum of Tonnara (tunny fishing nets): it is located in the port of Stintino called 'Porto Mannu' inside a modula building, likely made in order to be able to be moved to other places. It consists of a collection of documents, photos and other original objects and moulds in successive rooms, from Great Room to Death Room - closing the museum - that ideally riproduces the tuna's cycle of life and explains how life is in a tunny fishing nets with historical information about the tunny fishing nets of Asinara Gulf and particularly on the Saline's one.

  • Archaeologic and Ethnographic Museum G. A. Sanna: in the museum are kept:
    • A collection of archaeologic material from prehistoric age until the Roman period. It is for sure the most interesting and rich part of the museum. The oldest finds date about 500.000 years ago. Also the collection of finds of the nuragic period is quite rich; among the finds of this period you can admire various tools, ceramics and some small bronze scultures among wich an old statue representing an ox found on the island of Asinara that demonstrates that Asinara too was inhabitated during the nuragic period. Among other things you can find a rebuilding of the "Hut of meetings" of the nuragic village of Palmavera near Alghero.
    • An Art Gallery with about fifty paintings of different periods starting from 1300.

    • A collection of ethnographic material where unfortunately visitors are not allowed.

  • Sella and Mosca Museum: the museum is located inside the wine estate Sella and Mosca in the locality Piani di Sotgiu near Alghero. It has an archaeologic section dedicated completely to the necropolis of Anghelu Ruju, the most important and large prehistoric necropolis of Sardinia while the most important section is obviously dedicated to the history of the Wine Company since 1899; there are for example very old presses and grinders.
