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.…

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.

The upside is that the museum is in a beautiful building.…

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<e had expected to "learn" in addition to "see".…
