The Morandi Museum is the largest and most important public collection dedicated to Giorgio Morandi .
Giorgio Morandi, Italian painter and engraver, was one of the protagonists of the Italian artistic panorama of the twentieth century and is considered one of the greatest world engravers of the century .
His still lifes are famous in which bottles, vases and coffee pots are exhibited outside their functional context and analyzed in their pure essence. The Morandi Museum was opened thanks to a donation from the sister of the artist Maria Teresa Morandi, joined to an important group of works already present in the patrimony of the Gallery of Modern Art in Bologna. The Morand I Museum develops in the long sleeve of the former bread oven , adjacent to the MAMbo Permanent Collection.
The exhibition itinerary analyzes the themes and seasons that characterized Giorgio Morandi's activity and offers a reinterpretation of his artistic life also through the juxtaposition with works by contemporary authors (this is the case, for example, of Tony Cragg). Morandi's works are exhibited by thematic areas: Beyond genre, Time and composition, The Landscape, The poetics of the object, Engraving.
