Museo Etnografico Romagnolo “B. Pergoli”
The Museo Etnografico Romagnolo “B. Pergoli” is inside Palazzo del Merenda and brings together numerous collections related to the crafts and material culture of Romagna. Ceramics, printed fabrics, cabinet-making and farm work: the collection of this museum, one of the first in Italy devoted to material culture, has grown over time. Since it was founded in 1921 it has steadily expanded, most recently with a new section of genuine agricultural machinery at Palazzo Gaddi (a 10-minute walk away).
