Lamborghini Museum (Museo Lamborghini)

The Basics

Visitors can see a range of vehicles—from the first 350 GT model built in 1964 through race cars and concept cars—and get a sense of the passion behind the manufacturing process. The museum displays the famed Lamborghini Murciélago, Miura supercar, Countach, Sesto Elemento, and Diablo, along with the new Urus. Many of the older cars come from Ferruccio Lamborghini's personal collection, and the museum offers behind-the-scenes glimpses into Automobili Lamborghini's evolution, including scale models and parts of cars that were never made. If you’re lucky, you may even spot a prototype out for testing.

A visit to the museum includes a factory tour to see models coming off the production line; aficionados can even take a test drive with a Lamborghini dream car. Consider joining a complete Motor Valley tour, which includes visits to other famous car museums and factories nearby.

Things to Know Before You Go

• The Lamborghini Museum is a must-see for supercar enthusiasts and luxury lovers.

• The beautiful cars on display make for great photos, so be sure to bring your camera to the museum. No photos or videos are allowed during the factory and production line tour, however.

• The museum and factory tour are accessible to wheelchairs and strollers.

How to Get There

The Lamborghini Museum is located in Sant’Agata Bolognese, between Bologna and Modena, Italy. There is one public bus from Bologna to Sant'Agata (bus 576 to Crevalcore), but the best way by far to reach the factory is by car or on a private tour including transportation from Venice, Bologna, Florence, or Milan.

When to Get There

The museum is open daily all year, except on select holidays, and is the perfect indoor activity on wet winter days or hot summer afternoons.

Emilia-Romagna's Automotive Museums

The tiny triangle of land between Bologna and Modena is known as "Motor Valley" due to the concentration of Italian car manufacturers based there. If you're a true gearhead, consider taking a private Motor Valley tour to visit the Ferrari Museum, the Pagani factory, and Ducati motorcycle headquarters.

Can you visit the Lamborghini Museum on a tour?

Yes. You’ll find plenty of full-day excursions from Bologna, typically including one or two other nearby attractions. The museum also offers guided tours in English and Italian, focusing on the life of Ferruccio Lamborghini and his famous automobiles (plus other engineering marvels) for a minimum of 30 people.

What do you see on a tour of the Lamborghini Museum?

The museum’s biggest claim to fame is its collection of cars, including rare and limited edition models like the Miura. You’ll also find multimedia exhibits devoted to the brand’s history and impact on the automobile industry. Even better: Visitors get a peek at a production line of sports cars.

Is there free parking at the Lamborghini Museum?

Yes. Unsurprisingly, for a venue devoted primarily to automobiles, driving to the Lamborghini Museum is a piece of cake. While the museum doesn’t offer its own lot, visitors can typically find plenty of parking options, including free spaces. Guided tours from Bologna normally include round-trip transfers.

Is the Lamborghini Museum good for kids?

That depends. If they’re into automobiles, then yes! But it takes a car buff to appreciate this museum fully—and that goes for adults, too. (Then again, if anything can inspire a passion for the industry, it’s this collection of cars.) Bonus for families: Children aged five or younger enter for free.

Can I take photos inside the Lamborghini Museum?

Yes—but only inside the museum, and so long as you’re not planning to use the photography for commercial purposes. Remember that taking pictures within the factory portion of the visit is strictly forbidden. Visitors are asked to keep cameras and cell phones in a provided locker.

Is visiting the Lamborghini Museum worth it?

Yes, definitely. While sports car fans are most likely to enjoy a visit to the museum, the interactive and multimedia exhibits—plus the rare opportunity to see how a Lamborghini sports car is made—are likely to appeal to everyone. Visiting on a tour is a good idea for anyone needing additional context.
