Museo Enzo Ferrari is an automotive museum in Modena that presents the life of Enzo Ferrari alongside displays of Ferrari road and racing cars. The visitor experience is organised across a modern exhibition pavilion and the nearby house where Enzo Ferrari was born.
The pavilion displays rotating exhibitions of cars, prototypes and multimedia material about Ferrari engineering and design, while the birthplace site offers historical context and archival material about Enzo Ferrari’s origins. The museum programming mixes historical interpretation with contemporary exhibits focused on automobiles.
The site was developed to celebrate Modena’s connection to Ferrari and to provide a museum-scale presentation of the marque’s history alongside the founder’s biography. The pavilion was built as a purpose-designed exhibition space and the house-museum preserves the birthplace and early context.
Situated in Modena in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy, the museum is within the city’s urban area and accessible from Modena’s rail connections and regional roads.
