Piaggio museum is amazing and you don't have to be a scooter lover to 'get it' from first prototype to the latest model something for everyone. It has things if interest to anyone, even with the remotest interest in motor cycling. Its technical enough but not too much. The "corporate history" is interesting. The bizarre motor bike designs aiming to beat records in 1930s and 1940s were fascinating. Well worth the time. There is also a downloadable app which when used will bring up the pieces explanation.
