Lamborghini Museum Entry Ticket, Sant'Agata Bolognese

The Lamborghini Museum in Sant'Agata Bolognese

Lamborghini was founded in 1963 and has built its cars ever since in Sant'Agata Bolognese, a quiet farming town on the plain between Bologna and Modena. The museum stands at the factory entrance on Via Modena, and was renewed and renamed the Museum of Technologies to show not only the cars but also the materials and engineering behind them, from V12 engines to carbon fibre.

The building is modern and bright, with cars displayed on two levels and screens explaining design, racing and innovation. It is the only place where you can see the brand's history in one room, told by the company itself. Is the Lamborghini Museum worth visiting? For anyone who grew up with posters of supercars on the wall, it is a pilgrimage, and even non-specialists enjoy the sheer drama of the shapes.

Highlights inside: from the Miura to the hybrid era

The collection changes with temporary themes, but the icons are usually present: the Miura of 1966, often called the first true supercar with its engine behind the driver; the angular Countach with its upward-opening doors; the Diablo and Murciélago that defined the 1990s and 2000s; and the Aventador and the newer plug-in hybrid flagship. Most models are named after famous fighting bulls, a tradition the museum screens explain.

Beside them stand limited-series cars built in a handful of units, futuristic concept cars and engines displayed like sculptures. A driving simulator is sometimes available at extra cost. Take time to look at the details, from carbon-fibre structures to hand-stitched interiors, because they show how the brand moved from hand-beaten aluminium to aerospace materials in a few decades.

Planning your visit: opening hours, time slots and access

Lamborghini Museum opening hours usually run from 09:30 into the early evening, with longer days in the warmer months; the last entry is one hour before closing, and the booking panel shows the time slots for your date, from 09:30 to 17:00. Allow about an hour for a relaxed visit, a little more if you want the shop.

The museum is wheelchair-accessible, and youth tickets cover visitors aged 6 to 18. The ticket is for the museum only: the factory tour and guided visits are separate and not included. Visiting on a weekday morning is usually calmest, while weekends and summer afternoons are busier. Remember to arrive a few minutes before your slot with your ticket ready on your phone.

Sant'Agata Bolognese and the Motor Valley

How to get to the Lamborghini Museum? Sant'Agata Bolognese lies about 30 minutes by road north-west of Bologna and around 25 minutes from Modena. There is no railway station in the town and buses are slow, so most visitors come by car or taxi; our team can arrange a private transfer from Bologna and wait while you visit.

The museum fits perfectly into a Motor Valley day trip from Bologna. The Ferrari Museum in Maranello is about 45 minutes away, the Ferrari Museum in Modena about 25 minutes, and the Ducati Museum on the western edge of Bologna about 30 minutes. With a private driver you can see two or three of them in one day. Halal food is limited in these small towns, but vegetarian options are easy to find.
