Jewish Museum of Bologna

The Jewish Museum of Bologna occupies several exhibition spaces within Palazzo Pannolini with documentation and permanent collections. The rooms hold medieval manuscripts, religious objects, and various materials that show how the Jewish community lived across different periods.

The museum was founded in 1999 to preserve artifacts and documents about the Jewish presence in the region. Its collections trace thousands of years of settlement and document how the community and its history developed.

The collection displays religious objects such as silver items and traditional textiles that tell the story of generations of Jewish life in the region. Visitors can see the everyday traditions and customs that this community maintained over many centuries.

The museum sits in the medieval old town and is easy to reach on foot. A visit is straightforward, with a small library and bookshop on site for further information.

The museum keeps records of all residents deported from the region and displays their names in a dedicated memorial room. This space stands as a reminder of an important and difficult chapter in local history.
