Casa Morandi
About This Museum
Casa Morandi feels less like a formal museum and more like stepping into a perfectly preserved artist's sanctuary. The apartment on Via Fondazza was home to Giorgio Morandi for decades, a man who found a universe of quiet drama in simple bottles and vases. You walk through his humble living quarters and studio, where dust motes still seem to dance in the light exactly as they did when he was painting. It’s an intimate, almost hushed experience that connects you directly to the source of his poetic still lifes.
Collection Highlights
The main draw is Morandi's own studio, left exactly as it was, with his easel, brushes, and the famous collection of bottles, boxes, and shells he painted again and again. Throughout the apartment, his subtle etchings and watercolors hang alongside personal belongings, creating a seamless blend of life and art.
Visitor Information
It's a small place, so booking ahead is a good idea to secure your spot for one of the timed entries. You'll find it on a quiet street in Bologna; it’s the kind of gem you could easily walk past if you weren't looking for it.
Architecture & Building
The museum is located within a typical, unassuming Bolognese apartment building—you wouldn't guess from the simple exterior that one of Italy's great modern masters worked inside for most of his life.
