Bologna Gallery of Modern Art

The Bologna Gallery of Modern Art is a museum with several locations across the city, together displaying paintings, sculptures, and contemporary installations. The collection contains more than 3,500 works spread across different venues, each with its own focus.

The museum started in 1926 at Villa delle Rose, founded through a donation by Countess Nerina Armandi Avogli. The collection grew over the decades and the institution later expanded to multiple locations to house more works.

The gallery shows works by Italian and international artists, reflecting how contemporary art shapes the cultural conversation in the region. You can observe current artistic trends and movements through the rotating displays.

The museum spreads across several buildings including MAMbo, Villa delle Rose, and Museo Morandi, so plan which venues to visit. It helps to know the location of each site beforehand to move between them comfortably.

The main venue MAMbo is housed in a former bakery building that has been transformed with modern design and extensive glass elements. The building itself tells the story of how old industrial spaces can be reborn as contemporary art centers.
