Hotel Astoria has a nice surprise for all those who decide to stay with us for a stay in Bologna!
Ours is a city rich in culture, where history and art meet and mingle, creating a unique experience. One of the landmarks is MamBO, the famous museum of modern and contemporary art, which is just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel.
MamBO is a must-visit for art lovers. Inside is a collection of more than 1,000 works of art, including paintings, sculptures and installations, which you can see for yourself thanks to the complimentary admission we give you on your stay here that will allow you to discover and explore the museum’s various rooms.
Among the most interesting works on view are those from the GAM collection, the result of the transfer of the collections of the former Modern Art Gallery of Bologna in 2007. Carefully and passionately curated, with displays that are periodically renewed to offer the public new artistic experiences, the GAM collection is a journey through the centuries, from the second half of the 20th century to the present, with extraordinary works of art that will make you feel as if you are inside the heart of art.
Then there is the Morandi Museum, another major attraction at MamBO. Dedicated to Bolognese artist Giorgio Morandi, a master of modern Italian art, this collection is one of the most important in the world. You can admire his most famous works, such as “The Vases” and “The Barrels.” The presence of the Morandi collection creates a strong link with the history of Bolognese art and the history of the museum itself.
The MAMbo exhibition is divided into thematic areas that document some of the most innovative aspects of artistic practice from the 20th century to the present day. From Picasso to Warhol, Pollock to Rothko, the artworks on display here are a feast for the eyes. That’s why MAMBO is the ideal place for those who love art, culture and history.
Stay in the heart of art and book your next trip to Bologna’s Hotel Astoria!
