Bologna’s Archeological Museum is located in the
city’s old Ospedale della Morte (Hospital of Death),
which dates to the 15th century. Inaugurated in
September 1881 and forming part of the municipal
museum network Istituzione Bologna Musei, it hosts
one of Italy’s major collections of antiques. Its holdings
comprise:
- A wealthy of documentation on the history of
Bologna and its territory from pre-historic times to
Roman period, the fruit of excavations starting in the
second half of the 19th century;
- A substantial core collection, made up of the
University collections of Aldrovandi, Cospi, Marsili,
Lambertini and the fine collection of the Bolognese
painter Pelagio Palagi. These collections comprise
Egyptian, Prehistoric, Greek, Roman and Etruscan

in Italy.

THE COLLECTIONS. Egyptian collection
First we find the limestone reliefs from the tomb of
General Horemheb at Saqqara (reign of Tutankhamun,
1332-1323 BC): Horemheb would later be the last
Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty. A chronological itinerary
takes us from the Predynastic to the Ptolemaic-Roman
age, displaying vases, steles, bright-colored sarcophagi,
a number of funerary statues (ushabti), votive bronze
miniatures and other decorative objects. Of special
interest is the royal statuary, with idealized portraits of
the Pharaohs Neferhotep I, Thutmosis III, Amenhotep
III or IV and Apries.
GROUND FLOOR
THE COLLECTIONS – HISTORY OF BOLOGNA. Lapidarium
The lobby and courtyard contain Roman funeral
monuments and steles from the city of Bologna and
its surroundings, dating from the middle of the 1st
century BC to the mid-2nd century AD, plus a series of
milestones from the Via Emilia. The sculptures include
a torso with armor, part of a statue of the Emperor Nero
(mid-1st century AD), found in the Roman theater.
FIRST FLOOR
HISTORY OF BOLOGNA
4th century BC), with dwelling and productive artifacts
from the earliest Villanovan phase villages (9th and 8th
centuries BC) to those of the archaic and classical city,
what the ancients called Felsina (6th to 4th centuries BC)
Bononia. The room displays objects that give the viewer
a good idea of the public and private lives of the ancient
city’s inhabitants.
Room III. Verucchio
The visitor can compare the Etruscans of Bologna
with those of Verrucchio in Romagna, with finds from
necropolis excavations, including an exceptionally fine
7th-century wooden throne, part of the rich burial
equipment of an Etruscan aristocrat.
THE COLLECTIONS
Rooms Xa and X. Etruscan Bologna: the necropolises
The exhibition room and the large gallery, decorated with
splendid 19th-century paintings, host a large collection
of burial objects that retrace the historical, social and
economic evolution of Etruscan Bologna. The earliest
phase, so-called Villanovan phase, in the 9th and 8th
centuries BC, is documented by cremation tombs, with
terracotta or laminated bronze ossuaries. Fine examples
of the subsequent “Orientalising” phase (7th century)
are the funeral steles decorated with fantastic animals.
From the mid-6th century, Felsina becomes a city,
surrounded by its necropolises, with tombs marked by
sandstone steles with bas-reliefs. The tombs contain
fine Attic pottery and bronze vases, including the
Certosa situla (first half of the 6th century BC), a refined,
embossed laminate vessel used as a funeral urn.
Room I. Bologna and its territory: Prehistoric era
Artifacts testifying to the human presence in the area
of Bologna from the lower Paleolithic (800,000 years
ago) up to the dawn of history (Final Bronze Age, 10th
century BC).
Room XI. Gallic Bologna
Etruscan Bologna was overrun in the early part of the
4th century BC by the invasion of the Boii, a Celtic tribe
that settled in the area until the beginning of the 2nd
century BC. The museum has funeral objects from this
phase, with iron weapons in the transalpine tradition.
Room Ia. Etruscan Bologna: from villages to city
This is the start of the exhibits tracing the birth and
development of Etruscan Bologna (from the 9th to the
Room XII. Roman Bologna

century, in 189 BC the Romans founded the colony of

Rooms VII and IX. The Roman collection
It includes ceramic and glass vases, household decorations,
bronze figurines, lamps and objects of daily use. In
particular, note the paleo-Christian diptychs and ivories,
decorated with both sacred and profane motifs, from the
5th century AD. The marble sculptures comprise reliefs,
statues, public and private portraits. There are a number
of gold and silver coins ranging from the 1st century BC to
the 4th century AD, part of a vast collection comprising
100,000 coins, medals and coin dies.
Room VIII. The Etrusco-Italic collection
Note the bucchero pottery from Chiusi, terracotta and
marble Etruscan urns, etched mirrors and in relief,
including the famous etched mirror known as the “Cospi
patera” (5th century BC), from the name of Ferdinando
Cospi, its first owner.

(5th century BC). There is a rich collection of pottery,
most notably Athenian (from the late 6th and 5th
centuries BC), plus a large number of vessels produced
in Southern Italy in the late 5th and 4th centuries.
