Automotive Heritage in Modena

Museums and Collections

Modena's museums reflect the city's passions. Car lovers have the Enzo Ferrari Museum and the Maserati collection of the Panini Motor Museum. Art lovers have the Este dukes' Galleria Estense and the cathedral museums. Two unusual extras are the museum of collectible cards, a nod to the Panini sticker company founded here, and the last home of Luciano Pavarotti.
