There are no words to explain the sensation you'll have visiting this museum. this big plane lying on the floor, the recorded voices of the death passengers, the lights bulb switching on and off. just go there and remind what happened.
As with the many museums in Bologna they are superb. You have to visit the religious art and buildings are stunning.
This memorial of the mysterious plane crash near the island of Ustica is very well curated and presented as to linger for a long time in one's conscience. The remains of the actual fuselage have been meticulously collected from the ocean floor to be displayed in the center of the hall that was built specifically to house it. Surrounded by 81 black glass panes that represent all the lost souls of this flight. Behind each pane is a loudspeaker from which voices that say arbitrary things that might have been the thoughts of the victims, together with the wreckage becomes an eerie experience. Perhaps not suitable for children.There's also a small room showing a brief documentary about the realization of the memorial itself and some computers that show news reels and other related information. Sadly, no information is available in English making this memorial and museum a wholly Italian experience.
Non mi sarei aspettato granchè,ma l'idea che hanno sviluppato è fantastica e non ve la anticipo...Da vedere..
molti Bolognesi non sanno nemmeno della sua esistenza ma e' decisamente un posto da non perdere... veramente un posto toccante, non aspettatevi un museo classico.
Un museo toccante e triste, ma orchestrato nel modo migliore possibile. Lo scheletro dell'aereo è immenso e parla di morte, così come ne parlano gli 81 specchi neri addossati alle pareti, con le voci sussurrate che arrivano un po' dappertutto. L'architetto ha realizzato un'opera non d'arte, ma umana, grandiosa, anche la scelta di far pendere dal soffitto 81 lampadine che aumentano e diminuiscono d'intensità a mio parere è stata azzeccata, significano che finché c'è la memoria, nessuno morirà mai realmente.
This is an incredibly moving and powerful tribute to the victims of the Ustica plane crash. Describing the place will not do it justice so if in Bologna, you must experience it first hand.It is an easy 10 minute walk from the train station and there are a couple of good coffee shops on the way which you may want after your visit to the museum.
The Bologna Gallery of Modern Art, with its five exhibition venues and its patrimony of over 3.500 items of modern and contemporary art, represents one of the most important museums of the city of Bologna, Italy.
Ogni volta che sono in zona ci faccio un salto: si può visitare velocemente ed è gratuito, ma lo trovo sempre di grande impatto. Una passerella corre attorno tutta la carcassa dell'aereo e da diverse casse escono i pensieri delle vittime, molte lampadine, in numero uguale a quello delle vittime, si accendono e si spengono. Un allestimento molto emozionante senza scadere nel sensazionalismo o nella spettacolarizzazione. In una saletta a parte è possibile vedere filmati, documentari e telegiornali dell'epoca sulla vicenda. Una delle vergogne italiane da non dimenticare.
Over 30 years since the crash of flight 870 , a definitive answer to the question of what caused the crash is still not available. An English language TV program a few years ago claimed that it was a bomb placed on board, but many theories still abound and evidence is conflicting.The remains of the aircraft came to rest at a depth of 3,700 metres, requiring a lot of time and specialised equipment to recover the remains. These have been reassembled and as described by other reviewers, are displayed in an evocative manner in a rebuilt ex tramcar shed.The video recounting the story of the foundation of the museum is in Italian, but the general gist can be followed without an understanding of the language. The museum, or really memorial, is about 15 - 20 minutes walk north from the railway station.
