Tips from locals
Museo per la Memoria di Ustica Part of the Modern Art Gallery of Bologna, the Museo per la Memoria di Ustica opened in 2007 to remember the 81 victims of the Ustica disaster. It displays the sobering wreckage of the DC-9 plane that was shot down on its way to the airport of Palermo, now broken into over 2000 separate pieces. Surrounding this you’ll find an artistic installation by Christian Boltanski, a composition of 81 lights on the ceiling and 81 black mirrors to represent the victims of the disaster. The museum also has a thoughtful exhibit centered around 9 black cases which contain some of the victim’s personal belongings, but the cases themselves are deliberately kept out of view. Visitors are only given access to photographs of these objects, signifying the attempts made to reconstruct the truth around this tragic event.

A very interesting and important museum, in which you can see the permanent installation of Christian Boltanski in memory of the victims of the Ustica disaster.
A place to visit. An experience that combines aesthetic research and memory, the power of art.
