About this audio guide
This guide to Museo Morandi in Bologna follows painter Giorgio Morandi's private ritual in his cramped bedroom studio on Via Fondazza, where he spent decades nudging the same bottles, jars and a chipped vase across a wooden table, scraping off labels and refusing to let anyone dust them. It traces how that table and its objects survived, arranged just as he left them, through the 2012 earthquake that forced the collection into this rebuilt studio. Stand facing the reconstructed table and study the film of dust settled over each shape.
