Fails on every level except the indulgence of conspiracy. An accident “unsolved” only by the determined application of ignorance, no evidence is presented for any of the wild speculation (nor ever has been). Galling that a potentially vibrant public space is gifted to such toxic and baseless nonsense. It cannot even muster a dignified tribute to those who died, choosing black mirrors and light bulbs over (suggestion!) names or photos of the real victims. A sentimental and finally weird video shows the exploitation of those mourning to excite the credulous, pretty similar to any fifth columnist work. A crystalised waste of time, public energy, and intellectual capacity. Go see Neptune and eat some pasta instead.

A really atmospheric and interesting place, giving dignity to the victims. Christian Boltanskis intervention is really well made piece, adding personal layers to the dismantled plane.

Sounds haunting with the voices. Reminder how precious life is. Free entry and toilet facilities. Disabled access.

Wonderfully moving, we all loved it!

Came here with checking time table on google maps but it is not correct! It is open on Fri-sat-sunday from 5 pm to 8 pm.

Great museum, a place to visit for remember that tragic event!

The museum is an open space with the rests of the airplane, as well as a small room where a short film is presented, regarding a little bit of the history of the crash, what happened later, and how the remains came to rest here. It is honestly very harrowing to see something we think of as so powerful or big or strong - a plane - destroyed, with all the lives and people it took with it, while at the same time not knowing what really happened. It was an incredible experience to visit and learn more about this terrible accident.

Really moving place dedicated to the memory of the victims of a horrible tragedy, as well as an informative movie presenting the evolution of the idea of this memorial. The history of the tragedy itself isn't fully covered, at least not in English, so for foreign visitors it's a good idea to do the research beforehand

A respectful, hauntingly beautiful memorial for an unexpected fall of an airplane. Its so much more than that, a story full of lies and hiding.

Nur durch Zufall haben wir von diesem interessanten Museum erfahren, selbst Freunde, die in Bologna wohnen, dachten, dass es nicht regelmäßig geöffnet ist. Die Uhrzeiten auf der Homepage sind aber korrekt: Do/Fr vormittags und Sa/So ganztags, an Feiertagen ggf abweichend. Der Eintritt ist kostenlos, aber selbst mit einem Eintritt würde sich der Besuch lohnen. Das zusammengepuzzelte abgestürzte Flugzeug ist hier eher weniger als Dokumentation, sondern als Kunstinstallation gestaltet. Die 81 Lichter, die heller und dunkler werden, aber niemals ganz ausgehen, erinnern an die Opfer des Unglücks. Sehr beeindruckend und emotional. Die Geschichte des Flugzeugabsturzes wird nur am Eingang kurz angerissen. Die Hintergründe des Absturzes sind bis heute unklar.

Ist im engeren Sinne kein Museum, sondern ein Ort der Erinnerung. Kostenloser Eintritt.

Wir hatten eine sehr gute und interessante Führung. Das Kunstwerk ist sehr beeindruckend

It is only memorial, do not expected anything else than a crashed plane and the projection of the documentary about the accident. The place is very creepy, because of the background voices and the lightening. The entrance is free. The memorial is placed in the former tram depo. There are still remaining rails outside.

To get to know the tragedy of wrong airstrike by French fighter jet.

A sombre atmosphere in a museum, a shrine to the victims of Itavia 870 and an artistic expression. It will be an upsetting view if you are afraid of flying.

Very simple exhibition for the man-made disaster 40 years ago. The information brochure is helpful to understand what’s going on. It’s free but reservation required.

Well off the beaten tourist track, and with peculiar opening hours, the museum can be a tricky to access. For those that do visit however, they will experience a very moving and compelling exhibit. Access is free, but they do request you book in advance if possible. The exhibit is housed in the old tramway buildings adjacent to a pleasant park. It looks very nondescript and unremarkable from the outside, which almost amplifies the emotional impact once you enter. Once you slip through the door, the sight of the carcass of the plane , and the violence visited on it, your breath is taken away. After that shock subsides, the next thing you notice is how insubstantial it looks, a sorry mess of fragments clinging to a mesh frame. Then you recall that it contained 81 poor souls, and the sombre , sepulchral mood takes over. They are also recalled using 81 lights suspended from the ceiling, that dim almost to the point of extinguishing, before bursting back to life. That simple effect and the urgent, insistent, whispers of recorded speech from the dark mirrors placed on the walls, movingly recalls the victims. There is also a short video describing the creation of the museum and the artistic vision underpinning it. That also recalls the family and friends left behind, and their trojan efforts to uncover the truth about the loss of their loved ones and their efforts to keep their memory alive. With this wonderfully moving tribute they have certainly succeeded.

Very impressive , the pieces of the crashed plane, the low lights contribute to very emotional sense

Very evocative museum about a plane crash that was never explained. This museum was taken down by a missile on its way to Sicily, and it seems to have come from Italy itself. The government has never clarified what happened. The association of the victims' families opened this museum, called Museum of Memory, to remember their struggle from truth and remembrance. French artist Christian Boltanski created this exhibit, with 81 lightbulbs that go on and off and 81 mirrors to remember the victims. The sound system repeats done phrases, daily concern, to represent the victims.

Good for kids and too hot inside in summer..

Solemn museum showcasing the wreck of an unsolved air disaster.

Emozionante: enter in a room below the ground where a plane lies like a broken bird. It was made for flying, but someone threw it to the ground, hitting it to death along with its flying passengers. It is not a matter of responsabilities, not anymore. It is a matter of memories. Human beings are made of memories. They make us what we are, they strike us, they excite us, they are part of us.
