Museo della Storia di Bologna at Palazzo Pepoli
Explore Bologna's history from Etruscan times toward today through objects, images and multimedia displays inside the medieval Pepoli family palace on Via Castiglione.
This museum connects Bologna’s scattered monuments into one story. Its route follows the city from Etruscan Felsina toward the present, using objects and images to show how civic life changed across centuries. Give the galleries a full visit rather than counting the palace frontage as the attraction; the historic Pepoli setting adds context to the displays.
