MAMbo (Museo d'Arte Moderna di Bologna) is housed in a striking former industrial bakery, the Ex Forno del Pane, in the lively Via Don Minzoni area.

The spacious galleries feature rotating exhibitions that often challenge and engage. The museum also includes a bookshop, a café, and a rooftop terrace with views of the city.
