Why go
The aircraft remains are the focus, so the visit has a weight quite unlike Bologna’s art museums. Boltanski’s installation frames the wreckage as a place of memory. Set aside time to read and reflect, and approach it as a memorial rather than a quick collection stop.
What to look for
- See the recovered DC-9 at the centre of the memorial.
- Notice how Christian Boltanski's installation frames the wreckage.
- Notice the 81 lights, black mirrors and whispered voices around the aircraft.
Useful to know
- Via di Saliceto 3/22; allow a quiet, reflective visit and check current opening.
- Allow about 65 minutes; confirm hours or conditions at the official venue before setting out.
