Museo Civico Medievale
Inside Palazzo Ghisilardi Fava, this museum gathers objects from Bologna's medieval and later artistic life. It suits a longer cultural stop after seeing the city's civic squares and surviving towers.
The collections put portable objects beside Bologna's monumental history: manuscripts, metalwork and sculpture show what people made and valued. Seek out the gilded copper Boniface VIII and Giambologna's model for the Neptune Fountain. The palace setting adds another layer to the visit without making the whole building a museum.
What to look for
A gilded copper statue depicts Boniface VIII.
Giambologna's Neptune model connects to the fountain in Piazza del Nettuno.
Illuminated manuscripts sit among medieval objects and later sculpture.
Useful to know
See the Neptune Fountain before or after its model in the museum.
Use the museum's official information to plan an interior visit.
Ask the museum about its route if a step in one gallery affects your visit.
