    Small Museum providing a good background

    There are not,many objects in this museum but it does have a lot of videos in Italian and English that give an in-depth account the history of Jews in Italy from Roman times to the present day. There is also a special area for rotating...More

    Fascinating visit

    We were in Bologna on route to Ravenna. We had a morning to do a bit of sightseeing and stumbled upon the ex Ghetto Ebraico and the museum. Fascinating part of the city's history. Worth a visit if you're interested.

    Extremely poor museum experience

    Where do I start? I'm very interested in Jewish history, particularly the experience of Jewish communities in different parts of the world. There is certainly an interesting story here, but it has been presented in a way that is most unfriendly and almost indigestible for...More

    DISAPPOINTED

    Insufficient information about the Jews in Bologna and Northern Italy. Displays too general. Insufficient artifacts; mainly rather didactic displays/posters.

    A great Monday activity!

    there is a community of some 1500 Jews in Bologna, but only some 200 are practicing. the museum provides a good insight into the life and history of this community, mainly from Spanish origin, when Queen Isabela started persecuting and evicting them there. an activity...More

    Interesting display of the Jewish experience of Bologna

    A museum located in the former Jewish Ghetto. It covers in detail the Jewish history of Bologna. High tech sound system to enable visitors to have explanations in their own languages, pity it was temperamental on our visit. Well worth the visit

    I'm glad I went but was hoping for something more. I know the Jews of Bologna have quite a history and I wish the exhibit had been more informative. The building and surrounding neighborhood are fantastic. Maybe a walking tour of the history and area...More
