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.
