Top 10 Museums in Santo Stefano, Emilia-Romagna

February 24, 2022 Matilde Konrad

While crowds of tourists fill Venice, Florence and Rome, Bologna remains relatively quiet in comparison. This medieval university town is charming, historic and fun to explore… and you'll find Bologna's local cuisine is light-years away from the American deli meat bearing the city's name.

Because these works require close-up attention to all the fascinating details, we only managed half of the Hokusai show in London. Exhaustion set in, so we were surprised and delighted to have an opportunity to continue. It has all the famous prints, 36 views of Fuji, inc the Great Wave. Half the show is Hiroshige, who was less well-known to us. Not as funny as Hokusai, but equally fascinating. We managed to see the pre-historic collection, some of which was really well presented and explained, including the Palaeolithic and the Etruscan, but some wasn't explained at all. Never got to the Roman stuff.

Museum of the History of Bologna

Reviewed By elxfayee - Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom

This is an excellent museum! It covers the whole history of the city exploring the Roman era, medieval times, history of the buildings, the university, right up to modern pop culture. A free audio guide is available where you key in the room number and the guide tells you all about what you’re viewing. The museum had some exciting unusual interactive rooms. I recommend going on the first day of your trip to discover the city.
