INFORMATION
The Opificio delle Acque – Waterways and Underground Channels Museum is the perfect place to discover the historical bond between Bologna and its waters. A true museum where you can dive into the city’s labyrinthine network of canals and underground tunnels, enhanced by unprecedented and exclusive views of the Reno Canal.
Operating as a leather tannery since 1683, this site is a genuine hydraulic machine. It still preserves ancient operating mechanisms and sluice gates inside—traces of a hydraulic past that will immerse visitors in a completely new side of Bologna: a City of Water.
