Museo Morandi - The collection

The Morandi Museum was established in 1993 thanks to the generous donation of Maria Teresa Morandi, the artist's last surviving sister, to the City of Bologna. Originally housed on the second floor of the Palazzo Comunale, the museum found its current home in the former Forno del Pane in 2012. The Morandi Museum is the largest and most significant public collection dedicated to Giorgio Morandi in the world. This extraordinary museum offers a unique opportunity to explore his artistic journey across various techniques, revealing every nuance and poetic dimension of his work. Maria Teresa Morandi, with great generosity and foresight, gifted her hometown not only her brother's art but also his studio furniture, objects, library, and a collection of ancient art.
