Enzo Ferrari was born in Modena in 1898, in a house beside his father's workshop, and both still stand inside this museum. Around them rises a pavilion designed by Jan Kaplický of Future Systems, completed by Andrea Morgante, whose sweeping yellow aluminum roof is shaped like a car hood.
Inside, rotating exhibitions place the racing cars, lit like sculpture, in the story of Modena's motor valley and of Ferrari's life. The restored workshop houses a collection of engines, and a wraparound film sets the founder in his times. The museum is a short walk from Modena's station; the museum at Maranello is a separate visit, and a combined pass covers both.
