Things to do in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna: The Best Specialty Museums

April 12, 2022 Janette Largent

While crowds of tourists fill Venice, Florence and Rome, Bologna remains relatively quiet in comparison. This medieval university town is charming, historic and fun to explore… and you'll find Bologna's local cuisine is light-years away from the American deli meat bearing the city's name.

Museo Ebraico

Reviewed By BosBcnBlq - Bologna, Italy

We visited the Jewish Museum of Bologna after seeing in on the Top 5 List of things to do In Bologna on Forbes.com. To enter, make sure to ring the Buzzer and the gate will open. The museum is relatively small and has a small rotating staff, but houses a lot of information! It is housed in two buildings with the main entrance on the right hand side after entering the alcove. They house rotating exhibitions and work with other cultural events going on in Bologna. The Museum shows the history of the Jewish Diaspora and history of Italian Jews in Bologna and Emilia-Romagna. There is also lots of info on the unique recipes and culinary traditions of Italian Jews. Furthermore, there is tiny bookshop that though small in size, may be one of the biggest Jewish themed book collections in Italy. We have since gone back multiple times and always learn something new!
