The museum

In the futuristic 2,500-square-metre-plus pavilion, visitors not only get to admire the cars on display but also enjoy a captivating immersive video experience that tells the magical story of Enzo Ferrari’s nine decades, spanning his childhood, his discovery of racing at the start of the 20th century, his years as driver, as the brain behind the Scuderia and then as a constructor and the triumphs that brought.

In addition to that incredibly moving experience, in Enzo’s father’s former meticulously restored workshop, an exhibition that brings the one-offs cars created by Ferrari and personalised in close collaboration with Gianni Agnelli.

Birthplace of Enzo

World Class Architecture

The MEF was the last major project by the gifted architect Jan Kaplicky of the London-based studio, Future Systems.

The huge pavilion, which features a slew of innovative sustainable solutions, soars above a massive 5,000 square metres of exhibition space unfettered by columns or other encumbrances. Anyone that steps inside is immediately immersed in a temple to cars and their story as even the architecture of the building itself inspired by the bonnets of the racing cars of the 1950s.

Every 50 minutes, this totally unique, pristine-white space is transformed into a wraparound projection room as images of the people that made Ferrari and Ferrari’s history itself rush by on its walls and ceilings.

The Foundation

The “Fondazione Casa Natale di Enzo Ferrari – Museo” was established in 2003 with the aim of promoting the Modena region’s motoring tradition and create a museum dedicated to Enzo Ferrari in Modena, which opened its doors on 10 March 2012 and is currently managed by Ferrari spa.
