    This museum will not allow anyone without a green pass, unlike every other museum in Italy (all of which accepted a covid vaccine card). They were very rude about it.

    This museum holds permanent and temporary exhibitions. They are sophisticated and very instructive. The building is amazing by itself, with historic paintings on the ceilings. There are two floors, which allow for two exhibitions on different subjects.

    Is a superb example of the decoration in Bologna during the late 16th century and early 17th century. Most frescoes due to the work of Annibale and Ludovico workshop. In late 2020 the tenements of the Griffoni Poliptic were reunited here thanks the efforts of Roversi Monaco of Genius Bononiae with the curatorship of Mauro Natale.

    This palazzo and its gallery on first floor are a real discovery! The building itself is beautiful - there's an art nouveau glass ceiling in the reception area and well perserved wooden ceiling on first floor. But the most amazing part are obviousely the breathtaking frescoes painted by Carracci.

    Nice place and interesting collection but overpriced for the amount of art there. The entrance is €8 and I think it should be half that.

  • 5/5 Lea Z. 5 years ago on Google
    A must see in Bologna. The latest exhibition on a bolognese artist, Vacchi, was excellent!

  • 5/5 sinem s. 4 years ago on Google
    wonderful streets of Bologna with music of Vivaldi

    Very interesting exhibition

  • 1/5 Daria S. 8 years ago on Google
    EUR 13 for five rooms, showing less than 20 average paintings by local artists? The 'history of the city' room featured a sign on the wall and a very poor interactive display on a computer screen, that's it! The audio guide in English is very dull. Waste of good money, don't bother. Better go across the road and admire a beautiful Renaissance church - for free!

    This is a most beautiful gallery, with stunning ceilings. We saw the Astrid Kirchherr Beatles photography exhibition here which was one of the best photography exhibitions I have seen, a perfect blend and use of an old building displaying contemporary art.

  • 5/5 Marc F. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic museum. Not the largest by any means, but it contains some fantastic pieces by varied artists and is well worth a visit. We paid 5 euros per ticket and were very pleasantly surprised with the offering!

  • 5/5 Sue and Eric B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great art exhibit location. Don't miss an exhibit if one is happening because the frescoes on the walls near the ceiling are amazing.

  • 1/5 Jaakko N. 8 months ago on Google
    Very small exhibition of modern Art. No customers and I don’t wonder at all. Not worth the price.

  • 2/5 Gustav K. 9 months ago on Google
    Youkai exhibition. Very expensive for a such a small experience. Of there's another exhibition I do not know if its worth it or not

  • 5/5 Aleksander S. 6 months ago on Google
    Delicious breakfast, very decent Service.
