Containing huge wall curtains, some small sculptures and walls, plus huge paintings and a collection of historical and bible books. As Ferrara is a small but a compact historical city in different eras this is one of at least 3 museums must be seen if someone is interested. It is different from other Ferrarese museums.
2. Museo di Casa Romei
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 434 reviews
Casa Romei was built by the merchant Giovanni Romei around the mid fifteenth century, and constitutes a unique renaissance mansion in Ferrara. Original decorations from the age of its first owner, elegant courtyards, loggias, halls, make it an exceptional landmark inside the ancient city centre. During the time that the house formed part of the Monastery of Corpus Domini, the ceilings of the rooms on the first floor (XVI century), were decorated with elegant grotesques. Casa Romei became a veritable museum in 1955 and received collections of frescoes, statues and lapidaries from mostly destroyed ancient city churches and civil buildings. Therefore you can discover -inside its 15 rooms- witnesses from a forgotten town. The echoes of important artists, such as Donatello, Francesco Dal Cossa, Gregorio di Lorenzo, Bastianino, Alfonso Lombardi, make the visit inside Casa Romei an unforgettable experience of a greater interest.

ThIs was an eye-opening introduction to the history of Jews in Italy from the ancient world through the fascist regime. The curated historical material is fascinating and tremendously informative. The design and organization of the museum is moving and profound. The interviews with current day Ferrara jewish leaders provided tremendous insights and understanding. This is a worthwhile way to spend a morning, moving, enriching and thought-provoking.
