Why go

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.

What to look for

  • Follow the exhibits from Etruscan Felsina toward modern Bologna.
  • Use the multimedia displays to connect objects with the city's streets.
  • Pause in the palace's covered court during the visit.

Useful to know

  • Find the museum entrance at Via Castiglione 10.
  • Allow about 90 minutes; confirm hours or conditions at the official venue before setting out.
