Historic and hospitable
The Civic Museum (Bologna) is located in the downtown area of the city, in the Palazzo Galvani along the Piazza Maggiore and near the church of San Petronio. The fifteenth-century building was completely renovated in 1881, when it opened to the public as the seat of Museum.
The museum collections consist of the collections of the University of Bologna (whose collections include Aldrovandi, Cospi, and Marsili) and the outstanding collection of the Bolognese court painter Pelagi.
