Museo Ottocento Bologna

Museo Ottocento Bologna houses about 85 paintings documenting artistic development from 1850 to 1930. The collection spans different styles and techniques from this period, presenting the full range of artistic activity during these decades.

The institution was established in 2023 and opened to the public to make this artistic period accessible to visitors. This was an important step to preserve and present Bologna's artistic heritage from this key era.

The works displayed represent artists who were part of Bologna's artistic circles from the mid-1800s onward, showing how these movements reflected the city's changing identity. The paintings capture how artists of that era saw and depicted their own world and surroundings.

The museum is centrally located in the city and easy to reach on foot. It is helpful to check opening days in advance, as the venue is closed on certain days of the week.

The collection features works such as Marcello Dudovich's self-portrait with his family set in a famous Bologna square, revealing the artist's personal connection to his city. Such intimate details in the paintings give visitors insight into how these artists lived and related to their surroundings.
