    Amazing museum, it has so many machines and a lot of them can be started, it’s a very interactive museum. The silk mill is something unic, I don’t think you can find it anywhere else. The stuff is so friendly and helpful, even we were just two persons a guide came and explained to us how the mill works. I strongly recommend to visit this museum when in Bologna

    Superb museum of local industrial history, with fascinating exhibits labelled in Italian and English. Brickmaking and silk weaving were just two of Bologna's former key industries..We recommend you take a guided tour.
