Lamborghini Museum: Tickets, Factory Tour, and Directions

Sant’Agata Bolognese – Nestled among cornfields and sugar beet fields stands a factory gate, behind which Italy’s loudest cars have been built for over sixty years. Right next to it lies the Lamborghini Automobile Museum, which the brand itself MUDETEC refers to, short for Museum of Technology. Admission costs 20,00 €, the facility opens daily at 9:30 a.m., and anyone who pays €90.00 can then walk through the assembly hall, where a Revuelto—the brand’s current 12-cylinder model—is being built.

The museum isn't just a hall full of posters. It's located on the factory grounds, the cars on display are originals, and on the upper floor, it's less than thirty steps from a 1966 Miura to a modern hybrid.

How much is admission to the Lamborghini Museum?

A regular museum ticket costs 20,00 €. With the discount, you pay 16,00 €, specifically for those aged 65 and older, for students aged 19 and older, for groups of twenty or more people, and with the Italian Touring Club, the Italian Automobile Club (ACI), or the Card Musei Metropolitani of the Metropolitan City of Bologna. Children and teens ages 6 to 18 can enter for 7,00 € Admission is free for children up to and including five years of age.

Two add-ons are worth it, depending on your interests. One Museum Tour The approximately thirty-minute tour costs €25.00, including admission, and runs on weekends; the Factory Tour costs €90.00 and already includes admission to the museum. The driving simulator must be booked separately and costs €20.00.

When is the Lamborghini Museum open?

The museum has Open every day, There is no set day off. Closing times vary by season: From May 2 through September 30, the museum is open until 7:00 p.m.; from October 1 through April 30, it is open until 6:00 p.m. Last admission is one hour before closing time.

On certain days, the museum closes early because an event is taking place there. These dates are listed on the museum's website, and they change every year—checking the website the night before will save you a wasted trip.

What's in the museum?

The exhibition is spread across two stories, connected by stairs and an elevator. The story begins downstairs: the 350 GT from 1964, the brand's first production car, next to the Miura, who in 1966 placed the engine transversely behind the seats, thereby inventing the supercar design, and the Countach, whose wedge-shaped design hung on every other child's bedroom wall in the '70s.

Upstairs, things get livelier and louder. There you'll find the Huracán Performante and the Aventador SVJ, as well as the one-off and very small production runs that Lamborghini one-offs lists: Centenario, Sesto Elemento and Veneno. At the end of the line are the company's first hybrids, the Sián and the Countach LPI 800-4, which revisits the old name. One outlier in the series is the LM 002, an off-road vehicle from the 1980s with a 12-cylinder engine, which the brand itself long regarded as a misstep and which is now considered the forerunner of the Urus.

You shouldn't overlook these four vehicles

1. The Miura, the car that defined the genre

No other car in the museum is photographed as often. The Miura was introduced in 1966, featured a transverse 12-cylinder engine behind the cockpit, and thus served as the blueprint for every supercar built since. It owes its name to a Spanish bull breeder, and the slats above the headlights have earned it the nickname “Eyelashes.” Stop for a moment in front of the front end before you continue on.

2. The Countach, the kitchen knife silhouette

The Countach represents a break from everything the Miura had softened with its rounded lines: sharp edges instead of curves, scissor doors instead of regular door handles, and a windshield so flat that you can barely see out. The model in the museum is an early, narrow version without the wide fender flares of later years—and thus significantly more elegant than the 1985 “poster” version.

3. The race car with the start number

Lamborghini has been building its own race cars for customer teams since 2013. One of them, complete with a rear wing, decals, and a start number, stands right in the middle of the production cars and shows just how little remains of a production car once it’s been converted for the racetrack: no interior, no comfort—just a roll cage made of steel tubing.

4. The Aventador's scissor doors

The Aventador was the top-of-the-line model from 2011 to 2022 and is the last Lamborghini with a pure 12-cylinder engine without electric assistance. It’s on display in the museum with its doors open, and that’s exactly the point: The upward-swinging scissor doors have been a hallmark of the brand’s twelve-cylinder models since the Countach; the smaller models don’t have them.

Born Incomparable: Sixty Years of Miura

Since March 18, 2026 and all the way into the January 2027 The special exhibition is currently on display at the museum Born Incomparable To mark the 60th anniversary of the Miura. On display are the bare original chassis from the 1965 Turin Motor Show and a Miura P400 S, the only one ever built Miura Roadster the 1968 Bertone body-in-white, a Miura SVJ, and the 2006 Miura Concept design study.

But the centerpiece isn't a car—it's a work of art: Disintegrating X – Miura by Swiss artist Fabian Oefner. He dismantled a 1972 Miura SV into its individual parts and suspended them on a one-to-one scale, as if the car had fallen apart in midair.

How does the factory tour work?

The Factory Tour is the reason why many people travel to Sant’Agata Bolognese in the first place. It lasts about 45 minutes on the production lines; the museum tour, which lasts about an hour, is included in the price. A shuttle takes the group around the factory grounds, and then they head into the production hall.

Both assembly lines are on display: the V12 Series, where the Revuelto's engine and chassis come together for the first time, and the V10 Line of the Huracán. The manufacturer calls its manufacturing concept Lamborghini 4.0 Manufacturing Plant – Automated guided vehicles transport the car bodies from station to station, and at some stations, humans and robots work on the same component.

Good to know: The tour runs only Monday through Friday and must be booked in advance. If you’ve included it in your itinerary, be sure to schedule your visit on a weekday—the museum itself is just as open to you on the weekend.

The driving simulator at the museum

There is a Driving Simulator, where you drive a lap on a famous racetrack. You can book it separate from the admission fee It costs €20.00; the ticket includes a three-minute orientation and a seven-minute ride, and it is valid for one year. Only one person is allowed behind the wheel at a time; the minimum age is eight years, and the maximum weight is 120 kilograms.

The operator advises against using the simulator if you have heart or circulatory problems, are pregnant, or have recently had surgery. Dizziness after the ride is not uncommon—so it’s better to plan a coffee break afterward rather than continuing your journey.

From Tractor to Bull: How Lamborghini Came to Be

Ferruccio Lamborghini He was born on April 28, 1916, in Renazzo, a district of Cento in the province of Ferrara, less than half an hour’s drive from today’s factory. After the war, he built tractors from scrap military parts; in 1948, he founded his own company for this purpose, and it wasn’t until 1963 that sports car production was added—with a new factory in the open countryside of Sant’Agata Bolognese.

The brand's coat of arms traces its origins to a journey: In 1962, Lamborghini visited the breeder in Seville Don Eduardo Miura, whose fighting bulls were famous throughout Spain. The bull subsequently became the emblem, and the model names still come from that same world today: Miura, Islero, Espada, Jarama, Diablo, Murciélago, and Gallardo are all names of bulls or breeding families.

The company itself has changed hands several times. In 1987, it was acquired by the American conglomerate Chrysler; in 1998, Lamborghini was acquired by the Volkswagen Group and subsequently by Audi. This has had little impact on the production site: manufacturing continues in Sant’Agata Bolognese; in 2025, the figure was 10,747 vehicles worldwide.

How do you get to the Lamborghini Museum?

The museum is located at the 12 Via Modena in Sant’Agata Bolognese, less than forty kilometers northwest of Bologna and right in the heart of the Po Valley. By car, this is the easiest way to get there; if you don’t have your own car, take the bus.

The person in charge is TPER, the public transportation agency of the Metropolitan City of Bologna. The Route 576 connects the Bologna bus station via San Giovanni in Persiceto to Sant’Agata Bolognese and on to Crevalcore; the trip from the bus station to the Porta Otesia stop in town takes about forty to forty-five minutes. If you’re arriving by plane, take the Marconi Express, the cable car to the main station, and transfers to the bus there.

There are two Lamborghini museums—and they are 25 kilometers apart

This mix-up happens all the time, even on booking sites. In addition to the factory museum in Sant’Agata Bolognese, there is the Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum in Funo di Argelato, about twenty-five kilometers away on the other side of Bologna. It was founded in 2014 by Tonino Lamborghini, the son of the company’s founder, and chronicles his entire life: on display are tractors, including the company’s very first one from 1947, as well as a prototype helicopter and an offshore boat powered by a Lamborghini engine.

Both museums are worth a visit; they just tell different stories. If you want to see the supercars and the production facilities, head to Sant’Agata. If you’re interested in Ferruccio Lamborghini the man and how a tractor manufacturer became a sports car maker, head to Funo—and be sure to check the prices and opening hours there separately, since they’re completely different from those of the factory museum.

What Else Awaits You in Motor Valley

The museum is located in the heart of the Motor Valley, as the region between Bologna, Modena, and Maranello calls itself. Within an hour's drive, you'll find the Ferrari Museum in Maranellothat Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena at the founder's birthplace and the Pagani factory in San Cesario sul Panaro. Ducati builds its motorcycles in Bologna itself.

Don't turn this into a marathon. Two museums in one day is doable; three becomes a chore. If you still have time, you're better off heading into town: Bologna with its Arcades and Modena The cathedral, the leaning bell tower Ghirlandina, and the balsamic vinegar are all along the way.

Four Things You Should Know Beforehand

The museum isn't a place to spend the whole day, and it has a few quirks that are best to know about beforehand.

1. It went by quickly. The museum itself suggests an hour as a rough estimate, and that’s about right. Anyone who books just the museum and is willing to travel an hour to get there should add the factory tour or the simulator to their visit—otherwise, it’s not worth the trip.

2. The town is small. Sant’Agata Bolognese doesn’t have any tourist activities centered around the factory. Plan to have lunch in Bologna or Modena, not here.

3. Without a car, you need patience. Bus route 576 runs reliably, but not every minute, and less frequently on weekends. Check the return trip schedule before you leave.

4. There are no pictures in the book. The best shots of the day are in the museum, not in the production hall. Take the time there that you don't get on the production floor.

Why a Trip to Sant’Agata Is Worth It

The Lamborghini Museum is small, expensive, and off the beaten path—and yet it’s one of the most rewarding automotive destinations in Italy, as long as you book the factory tour. Nowhere else can you experience the combination of a 1966 Miura and a working assembly line just two hundred meters away.

The next step is simple: Pick a weekday, book the tour in advance through the museum, and spend the afternoon at Emilia-Romagna next.
