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.

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.

The man at the entrance informed me about all of this before selling me a ticket, so that I wouldn't be disappointed afterwards. And I wasn't, because the museum provides a lot of interesting information about Jewish life in Bologna and Italy in general. Therefore, the visit increased my knowledge and understanding of Jewish history in Europe, and I can recommend visiting the museum to everyone who wants to achieve the same.…

This museum is a relatively new museum and quite small. It can be hard to find from the former Jewish Ghetto area. Luckily, the area is not very big. The permanent exhibition tells about the 4000-year history of the Jewish identity from its origins to modern times.
