As well as being towering, Saturnia is also a city with a rich collection of museums, ranging in topic to items displayed. Let's take a look.

Seen before, the Saturnia History Museum is a museum that contains artifacts from local and national history, particularly revolving around early Saturnia from the 17th and 18th centuries.

The Museum of Natural History is one of the oldest science museums in the nation, and has a diverse range of ancient artifacts. It includes the only complete stegosaurus skeleton, as well as several other dinosaur fossils. Bones believed to have been human from over 10,000 years ago can also be found here. Another popular exhibit is the rocks and minerals, which contains some of the largest diamonds ever found, as well as an asteroid chunk that fell to the planet's surface in the late 1800's. This museum is also a favorite among children, who especially enjoy the interactive exhibits that this museum offers, as well as the animals that can be seen here.

The Museum of Modern Art is adjacent the Natural History Museum, as well as one of Saturnia's newest attractions. It was completed in 2004 and was nominated for Architectural Achievement of the Year for the country of Simeri that year. It's collection focuses on art since the 1950's, with an emphasis on art since 2000. This museum is more well known for its architecture than its art. It contains over 500 works, a cafe, and outdoor seating, as well as easy access to public transportation.

The biggest of them all, the Saturnia Museum of Art is housed in a magnificent 1908 building, and contains over 1,500 works from the past 4,000 years. It is renowned for its works by the ancient kingdoms of Rohn, Nahalia, and Aodh. It also has work from the 1500s from Imperium, which was the world's largest city (and is still close to it) at the time. Simerian art is also seen plenty in this museum, with many works by Saturnian artist Noah Hansen, who lived right here in Saturnia. It is 3 stories, as well as having a basement gift shop and cafeteria. Every year, it is visited by over 3,000,000 visitors, more than nearly any other tourist attraction in Saturnia.

There is a large garden outside the Art Museum, which is a nice urban oasis, and one of the best open spaces in Saturnia. The centerpiece is a nice place to view the museum, which also makes the museum itself look better.
