The appearance of the Royal Palace, beautiful but not breath-taking, does not suggest the splendor inside. It was a symbol of the wealth of the Savoy Dynasty, and the center of its governing power. The palace complex consists of plenty rooms with ornate interior of intricate shapes, awesome tapestries and marvelous paintings depicting religious scenes and events of the history of the Savoy Dynasty, the Royal Gardens and the Chapel of the Holy Shroud which have been turned into museums, known as the Royal Museums of Turin. Amazing is the Grand Staircase (Scalone d'Onore), the first part of the Palace, every visitor sees - beautiful wall-paintings and sculptures, and a huge painting on the ceiling. All the rooms are furnished and decorated in a really lavish and opulent way with the Dining Room and the Room of the Cuirassiers being my favorites. We didn't take audio-guides but plenty of detailed information was there in the rooms, both in Italian and English. There was a beautiful Christmas tree in the Ball Room and a "Steinway Spirio" piano, automatically performing songs of renowned artists. Bear in mind that it is closed on Mondays but entry is free every first Sunday of the month. Admission for kids and youngsters of up to 18 years of age is also free of charge.

The Museo delle Antichità Egizie is the only museum other than the Cairo Museum that is dedicated solely to Egyptian art and culture. Many international scholars, since the decipherer of Egyptian hieroglyphs Jean-François Champollion, who came to Turin in 1824, spend much time pouring over the collections. It was Champollion who famously wrote, “The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin”.The collections that make up today’s Museum, were enlarged by the excavations conducted in Egypt by the Museum’s archaeological mission between 1900 and 1935 (a period when finds were divided between the excavators and Egypt).The Egyptian Museum in Turin has begun 2009 an important project which wants to widen spaces in order to enhance the collections through modern museographical and museological criteria. The Museum will be open all over the period of restoration and the New Egyptian Museum inauguration is scheduled for the year 2015.

Renovated three or four years ago, contains an astonishing array of Egyptian artifacts of the highest quality, most of them "acquired" by at times dubious means, at the beginning of the 19th century and offering a fascinating vision of Ancient Egypt. A treasure house of precious objects and cultural treasures.

The Museum is one of the most important of its kind in the world thanks to it vast collection and the many different scientific and educational activities it carries out. But what makes it truly unique is its special exhibit setup. The museum is located inside the Mole Antonelliana, a bizarre and fascinating monument which is the symbol of the City of Torino. And the various areas inside the Mole Antonelliana were the starting point for the Swiss set designer François Confino who, with talent and imagination, multiplied the museum's itineraries. He created a spectacular presentation that offers visitors continuous and unexpected visual and acoustic stimuli, just like when we watch a film that involves and moves us.

One of my very favourites in Torino. I already visited three times and every time there is something new to see. The museum is hosted inside the Mole Antonelliana, a tall, impressive tower in the historical centre of the city. There were restrictions to the entrance because of the Covid, but I bought my tickets online, with a set entrance time and we didn't have any problem and didn't have to queue to enter. The first part of the visit is about the history of cinema from the very beginning and very interesting because of the ancient mechanical tools in display, proving that mankind has always be fascinated by moving images. Then the museum develops the internal part of the tower, displaying wonderful photos, interactive tools, short documentaries and lots of memorabilia. Red velvet reclining chairs are available for visitors who want to watch images from the current exhibition. This time it was costumes used in many movie productions. An amazing display of great artisanal skills, culminating with the elaborate costume built to celebrate the Mole and Torino. Definitely recommended, fascinating every time I visit.

The elevator ride and views at the top are spectacular - the building is really interesting architecturally and the Torino National Cinema Museum which is located in the Mole is a must see attraction in Torino. We spent three-hours and barely touched the surface. It is a great place for a film buff, movie historian, or for anyone that likes to walk around in a delightful engaging building with superb displays.
