Traveler reviews

  • Kasia

    ★★★★★a year ago

    Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna is a small but interesting museum with some thought-provoking installations. While it didn’t leave a huge impression on me, I appreciated the selection of contemporary works. The space is well-organized, and the exhibitions are engaging, though the collection is not very large. If you’re in the area and enjoy modern art, it’s worth a short visit, but don’t expect an extensive collection.

    Great collection. 10 euro entry with the temporary exhibition. 6 euro for permanent collection only.
