The Museo Ferrari in Maranello occupies a purpose-built exhibition hall adjacent to the Scuderia Ferrari factory in Maranello, a town in the Modena province of Emilia-Romagna that Enzo Ferrari made famous worldwide. The museum traces the complete arc of Ferrari history from the early postwar years — the 125 S (1947), the first car to carry the prancing horse badge — through decades of Formula 1 dominance and road car production to the present generation of hypercars.

The official Ferrari museum in Maranello, Ferrari's home town, showcases the brand's complete history from the first 125 S to the latest hypercars. Includes Formula 1 championship cars, engines, trophies, and the story of Enzo Ferrari's legacy.

The Museo Ferrari in Maranello occupies a purpose-built exhibition hall adjacent to the Scuderia Ferrari factory in Maranello, a town in the Modena province of Emilia-Romagna that Enzo Ferrari made famous worldwide. The museum traces the complete arc of Ferrari history from the early postwar years — the 125 S (1947), the first car to carry the prancing horse badge — through decades of Formula 1 dominance and road car production to the present generation of hypercars. The main hall displays a rotating selection of road and racing cars drawn from the museum's extensive collection. Permanent highlights include multiple Formula 1 championship cars from Michael Schumacher's record-breaking 2000–2004 era, the V12 engine bays tracing Ferrari's engineering lineage, and the trophy room housing replicas of every constructors' and drivers' championship trophy. A second hall focuses on the current model range and special series, updated seasonally. The Galleria Ferrari shop adjacent to the museum sells officially licensed merchandise including scale models, apparel, and accessories. Visitor experience is strong for both committed enthusiasts and families with limited automotive knowledge: information panels are bilingual (Italian and English) and the cars are presented at close range behind low barriers. A combined ticket with the Museo Enzo Ferrari in Modena (35 km away) offers good value. The museum is busiest on weekends and Italian public holidays; weekday mornings from 10 AM typically see significantly shorter entrance queues. Allow 2–3 hours for a thorough visit. Maranello itself is walkable and offers lunch options along Via Roma.
