A magnificent museum which brilliantly explains the Risorgimento in a building where so much of it happened. It is remarkable how much stuff has survived, particularly the cutting satire of many of the posters and pamphlets. For the history buff you could easily spend a whole day here, and it sheds light on a part of European history which for non-Italians is usually pretty hazy. It certainly helps to be able to read Italian - and in the early sections, French. A few video presentations in English, too. This is a museum where you have to follow the historical sequence, though you can of course skip bits which interest you less.

I'm not a fan of military history or displays, but if you have the Torino museum card, it's worth including this space as a stop as the building is very impressive alone, regardless of the displays and is worth discovering.

The story of Italian unification is fascinating in itself and this museum has all the history of the various stages and the key players right up into the 20th century. What makes it particularly interesting are the videos playing in several rooms describing what was happening elsewhere in Europe as the unification progressed, putting everything into an international context that made this period of history far more comprehensible. I wish they'd taught this way when I was at school ! It's €10 admission and worth every cent in my view; you need a minimum of two hours but could easily spend a day going through everything in detail.

Museum full of maps, artistic materials and historial documents, I'm sure most of them interesting and of great value, but without any didactical comments, chronograms or explanations.
Difficult to appreciate if you are an Italian who knows the history of your country from school but impossible for the average European who wants to know about Italy or for school groups.
It needs modernization and also comparing with what was happening in other European countries at the time to illustrate and get a wide view of the period.

We were really disappointed by this museum.
The Risorgimento is such a great story with fantastic characters but the museum failed to bring them to life. They can do so much better than filling room after room with clippings and articles and some dated videos. The only info in other languages was an A4 card in each room.
It felt dated compared to the other palaces, Venaria and the Egyptian museum which we visited in Turin. Maybe this is the next one on the list to get a refresh and audio guide.
The upside is that the museum is in a beautiful building.

We found it fascinating, even on our second visit.
The museum depicts not only the story of Italy's unification (or reemergence, as it is called in Italian), but also the European situation in the 19th century leading to it.

What a shame, a museum that exhibits so much and explains so little. Baldy organised with little to no explanations. Definitely not worth it, especially for foreigners. Unless you get a guide maybe.

With the English audioguide in hand, I was able to triple my knowledge about Italian unification.
Great informative exhibits and descriptions that will keep kids & adults interested.
I easily spent 3 hours here which does not have to be everybody's choice of course.
Again the audioguide is key to hit the highpoints and move on.

This museum impressed me because of its building and its presentation of the history of Italy. Full of light and spacious. Overwhelming detailed history of the resurgence of Italy in the past two centuries plus.

This museum was disappointing. A huge building, thus many many rooms and halls to go through, chronologically from the French revolution until Italian unity; but just too many objects and pictures and maps, often too high on the wall, thus impossible to read; and nowhere a good text to explain really what happened from 1789 to 1945. One has the impression that you need to have gone to school in Italy, in Turin, in which case you know all the history and you just get to see the objects illustrating it. But for a non-Italian, the history (who does what when and where?) is missing! The video displays are subtitled, but the pace is way too rapid for the rich content we should hear. Too bad, w
