 Ducati Museum by ludogatto If u like motorbikes and in particular Ducati, u have to visit this museum. There, some info taken from the official web site: Located at the Ducati factory headquarters, the 1,000 sq/mt Ducati Museum highlights 50 years of racetrack heritage. The Ducati Museum opened on June 12, 1998, during the first annual WDW (World Ducati Week), and was officially inaugurated on October 16th later that year. The Museum has preserved over half a century of Ducati racing history and also the history of the company (before it produced motorcycles) founded by the Ducati brothers in 1926. for more info http://www.ducati.com/heritage/museo/introduzione.jhtml Leave a Comment Address: Via Cavalieri Ducati, 3 Borgo Panigale BolognaPhone: (39) 051 - 6413111,Directions: Guided tours Monday - Friday at 11:00 am and at 4:00 pm Saturday only:Continuous tours from 9:30 am until 1:00 pm Sunday: Closed Taking photographs is allowed in the museum but not inside the factory.

by Willettsworld This museum houses one of Italy's major Egyptian collections, as well as important discoveries dug up in Emilia. As you enter, look to the right in the atrium to see a decapitated marble torso, said to be Nero's. One floor below street level, a new Egyptian section presents a notable array of mummies and sarcophagi. The chief attraction in this collection is a cycle of bas-reliefs from Horemheb's tomb. On the ground floor, a new wing contains a gallery of casts, displaying copies of famous Greek and Roman sculptures. On the first floor are two exceptional burial items from Verucchio (Rimini). Note the wood furnishings, footrests, and throne of tomb 89, decorated with scenes from everyday life and ceremonial parades. Open: Tues-Sat 9am-6:30pm; Sun 10am-6:30pm. Admission: € 4,00.

 mmm which one? by SapineKuu Although not immediately evident from the plethora of scooters trying to run you over, Bologna is the birthplace of a true thoroughbred; the Ducati motorcycle. OK, a tour of their factory and museum might sound like an outing for petrol heads but the Ducati girls who conduct the tour make it a great experience for all. Prior booking is essential and can be done by e-mail or telephone. One guy from New Zealand told me he had tried months before and had initially been unsuccessful. I don’t know if I was lucky now but I managed to get a couple of places be e-mailing them the day before!

Pinacoteca Nazionale is the city's main art gallery featuring a good collection of works by Bolognese artists - the "pride of the place" factor - including Vitale da Bologna, Guido Reni, Guercino, and the Caracci family, one of the pioneers of the Counter-Reformation movement in Italy in the latter half of the 16th century. I find the museum well-organized and works well-presented despite the labyrinthine alleys. Very popular works are Perugino's Madonna in Glory and Raphael's celebrated The Ecstasy of St Cecilia. At the time of my visit, the museum has set up a special exhibition on the life and works of the 15th century renaissance painter Amico Aspertini. Leave a Comment

When you're around the university area, be sure to drop by the university's museum at Palazzo Poggi. It's free, fun, and a few pieces, quite freaky. Its collection is a merry mix of art (the museum's dramatic frescoes), history (maps, globes, ships), and natural sciences (medieval teaching aids, preserved specimens) and is worth spending an hour or two. I find the female reproductive system models (a significant space is devoted to obstetrics) quite fascinating, albeit freaky (picture 2), and the frescoes are works of art themselves. The map room is sure to attract the attention of ardent travelers like us. Admission is free. Museum hours: 10am-1pm & 2-6pm Mon-Fri; 10:30am-1:30pm & 2:30-5:30pm Sat & Sun.
