The Museo Muratoriano was once the home of the historian Ludovico Antonio Muratori from 1716 to 1750. It also houses the Natural History Delegation for the ancient provinces of Modena. The museum opened in 1931, when the tomb was erected and consecrated and the Aedes was renovated to house the few relics and works by Muratori. Here you can see such items as his walking cane and his inkwell, his library reading chair, a few prints and a portrait. There are other gifts received from benefactors and other new acquisitions.
