Official Lamborghini museum showcasing the brand's extraordinary supercars from the iconic Miura (1966) to the Urus SUV. Includes the story of Ferruccio Lamborghini's famous disagreement with Enzo Ferrari that led him to build his own cars.
The Museo Lamborghini stands at the entrance to the Automobili Lamborghini factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, a small town in the Bologna province of Emilia-Romagna, approximately 25 kilometres west of Bologna. The museum was established on the factory's existing site, where Ferruccio Lamborghini began manufacturing tractors in the 1940s before pivoting to sports cars following his famous dispute with Enzo Ferrari about clutch mechanics in the early 1960s. The exhibition chronologically traces the brand from the early 350 GT (1963) through the revolutionary Miura (1966), the angular Countach (1974), the Diablo, the Murciélago, and the Huracán to the current Revuelto V12 hybrid and Urus Performante SUV. A significant section covers Lamborghini's motorsport history, including the Huracán GT3 racing programme. Each car is displayed with detailed engineering notes, period photographs, and design sketches that make the narrative accessible to visitors without a specialist background. Factory tours run Monday through Saturday and must be booked well in advance through the official Lamborghini website; they allow visitors to observe production of the Revuelto and Urus on the active assembly line. Sant'Agata Bolognese is not on a direct train or bus route from Bologna; the practical way to visit is by taxi (approximately €40 each way) or private car. Combining the visit with the Ducati Museum in Bologna's Borgo Panigale district on the same day is a popular Motor Valley itinerary. Allow 1.5–2 hours for the museum.
