During the Middle Ages, the city revolved around its university, and the most enchanting treasures are the sepulchers of professors, surrounded for eternity by carvings of dozing and mocking students. Also on view are fascinating cooking utensils from daily life in medieval Bologna, illuminated manuscripts, and a sizable collection of arms and armor. It also has a healthy handful of medieval objects from cultures around the world (collections left over from previous incarnations of the museum), and the museum's name hasn't kept it from squirreling away a few small Renaissance and baroque bronzes by the likes of Giambologna, Bernini, and Algardi.
