About Casa Enzo Ferrari Museum
Enzo Ferrari's birthplace in central Modena, transformed into a striking museum with a spectacular ripple-roof pavilion by architect Jan Kaplický, celebrating the Ferrari story in its home city.
The Casa Enzo Ferrari museum in central Modena combines the preserved yellow house where Enzo Ferrari was born in 1898 with a spectacular modern pavilion designed by Czech-British architect Jan Kaplický and completed posthumously in 2012. The museum's curved, rippling yellow roof, inspired by the aerodynamic surface of a Ferrari hood, is one of the most striking pieces of contemporary architecture in Emilia-Romagna. The museum is dedicated to the history of the man who became one of the most influential figures in 20th-century automotive culture, telling the Ferrari story from the perspective of his home city. The collection includes Ferrari cars, personal artefacts, archive materials, and interactive exhibits. The preserved birth house, with its simple working-class furnishings, provides a poignant contrast to the global legend Ferrari became. The museum serves as the Modena complement to the Galleria Ferrari in Maranello, presenting the human story behind the automotive icon.
Did you know? The museum's rippled yellow canopy was designed by Czech-British architect Jan Kaplický, who died in January 2009 at the moment the project was confirmed, it was completed posthumously.
