Discover how to access Palazzo Peopoli
Palazzo Pepoli is not just a museum, but a vibrant, open, and participatory place where history meets the present through a network of spaces dedicated to culture, social life, and discovery. The inner courtyard, event halls, café, and bookshop make the Palazzo a true point of reference for both the local community and visitors to Bologna. Every environment is designed to welcome and engage: exhibitions, gatherings, moments of relaxation, or even a simple stop along the way become shared experiences.
The spaces of the Palazzo are not mere “services,” but an integral part of its identity: they express the bond between the city and its memory, between local traditions and openness to the contemporary. A place to be experienced both inside and beyond the museum path, where every visit can turn into an opportunity for encounter, knowledge, and participation. Access to the inner courtyard is free, offering everyone the chance to experience and rediscover the beauty of the Palazzo, between art, history, and modernity.
In addition to offering books, handicrafts and gift ideas related to Bolognese culture, the bookshop is also an information point where you can purchase tickets, gather useful tips and find inspiration before you even begin your museum tour.
Open to all, the Museum Café is an inviting and accessible place to take a break or meet up in a relaxed atmosphere. With free entry, it invites visitors and locals alike to enjoy Palazzo Pepoli beyond the museum visit, making it a true meeting point in the heart of the city.
Through its events, performances, music, and workshops, the captivating Sala della Cultura stands at the very heart of Palazzo Pepoli’s cultural calendar.
As the symbolic core of Palazzo Pepoli, the Piazza Coperta is the main hub for all activities. Designed as a contemporary public square, it hosts events, exhibitions, performances, and moments of connection, deepening the relationship between the museum and the life of the city.
La magia continua in queste sale che custodiscono l'arte dei burattini a guanto di scuola bolognese, realtà che ha caratterizzato la storia culturale di questa città.
