A relatively small museum in the town of Aidone near Morgantina, Museo Archeologico di Aidone houses a collection of artifacts unearthed in the surrounding areas. The highlights include the rare and remarkably complete Hades head and several well-preserved Greek statues, some of which were recovered from American museums after questionably legal sales.
Spain
This museum is small, so don't expect it to take more than about 45 minutes to explore, but it has some great Picasso pieces from his time spent in Barcelona at the beginning of his careers (from age 14-23). If you love Picasso, this is probably a can't-miss.

Croatia
This museum is very cool. It hosts a collection of true stories of couples who have broken up around the world and displays their story and corresponding item that represented the relationship (some of them are very odd). It's fascinating to read through the hundreds of stories in the museum (they rotate them frequently).
