About
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.

The upper part of the museum is currently closed to the public. The two floors that are accessibile need refreshing for a moderna audience. I would not recommend visiting the Museum itself - what is worth it however, is a tour up the Mole Antonelliana which is the building where the cinema museum is located.
Positive aspects:
Second floor lie-down cinema chairs which also give a beautiful view on a breathtaking escalator that takes visitors to the rooftop terrace of the Mole Antonelliana. Entrance tickets to this escalator ride and the museum can be purchased as a package or also separately.
The roof terrace provides stunning views of the city.

Brace yourself and buy the tickets in advance, because the queue is always insane.
Allow yourself at least 3 hours to visit it, because there are a lot of videos to see, and interactive panels.
This museum tells you the history of the cinema and how movies are made from the shootings to the final product.
I really enjoyed the visit, but it think it can be improved by displaying more artifacts, and explaining better how animated movies and 3d movies are made.

A cacophony of sound and images - The building Is interesting and the collection and knowledge clearly vast. However, the curatorial displays and information are very messy and make little sense. The control of audio spill from one area to another is terrible and the ambient noise is difficult for the visitor experience and for making the most of exhibits. It’s a huge disappointment, given the quality of the collection and it’s importance. After a while you just get fed up on noise and endless over-hung images. The building is quite interesting but that’s all. The organisation is poor and the way visitors/tickets etc are dealt with is chaos. The shop and entry/exit is very poorly organised. The requirement to wear FFP2 masks is well advertised and totally understandable, it’s not a hardship. (May 2022) A great shame this isn’t a better experience - a great story is there to be told.

The iconic Mole Antonelliana is best appreciated from a distance. The atmosphere of the Cinema Museum inside is a cross between IKEA, your local aquarium, and Gatwick airport. Overcrowded, claustrophobic, no added value compared with what’s on the internet. Blaring noise. Zero social distancing. Why do they only organize guided tours on weekends and holidays when the place is over-crowded? Our guide constantly apologized for the crowds and had no insights of her own to impart. The “panoramic lift” allows you to admire the smog which obscures the mountains and anything worth seeing. At a "masterclass" with the director Michel Hazanavicius and his star and wife Berenice Bejo, whose one success was the marvelous silent film The Artist, the director of the museum kept intervening to dumb down the conversation whenever it threatened to become interesting. After a clip from The Artist which merited a discussion of the techniques used and the (obvious) references to Charlie Chaplin and other stars of the silent era, he could think of nothin g better to ask (twice) than how it felt to have won an Oscar for the film. This museum would be much better if it made up its mind whether to be a museum for those genuinely interested in the cinema or a sort of mini-Disneyland pulling in the crowds.

That building is truly iconic and has a story which is quite incredible. Was supposed to by a synagogue and then they ran out of money. Most of it is empty, and was taken by the cinema museum. The first floor has exhibits from the beginning, with how a long time people produced the first moving images. It is ok and probably such you need to have seen once n your lifetime. Later going up you make it to the most impressive hall with the elevator that goes up right through the middle to the viewing platform. There are different exhibits showing scenes of famous classic movies which is quite neat. The ramp that climbs up on the side takes you through different costumes over time. It very impresssive too.

Despite the complicated route through the museum this is a wonderful experience with too much to see for one visit. Luckily there is the lying-down area in the centre where you can lie back on red sofas and watch films to your heart;s content. And for a few extra Euros you can go up the Mole tower for a panoramic view of the city.

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.

Italian Cinema has a long and rich history and this extraordinary museum offers a truly captivating panorama of its history and pace within world cinema. The space itself (built to be a synagogue but never used for this purpose), is stunning, and the museum's central tower soars above the city. Absolutely worth a visit!

A nice fully immersion in the history of the so-called seventh art. Booking in advance is highly recommended.
Anybody is likely to bump into the movie of their dreams. Visiting the interior of the mole makes the experience even richer to the point you'll be tempted to going back and taking advantage of the elevator which gives a bird's eye view of the Sabaudian town.

I visited this museum with my mother and we were both enthusiastic! You can experience and learn the history of the cinema from the first experiments in the optical field (lenses, light and so on) to the start of the first films till today. The rooms are very particular and exciting, with unusual places to sit and watch scenes from films and a lot of interactive possibilities. We spent there 3 hours, but we could have been there even longer. Descriptions of the objects also in English. The museum is inside the Mole and you can also by a ticket "museum + Mole" (we had the ticket "only museum").

Si possono prendere due biglietti, l'ingresso all'ascensore è separato da quello del museo.
I minori (15-16anni)devono essere accompagnati? Se sì per forza da un genitore o va bene anche un parente/amico

Is it worth taking my 3 year old there? When is the best time to go?

Well, it took us many hours to go round, I think your three year old might get bored. The final few exhibits are fairly suitable but on the whole I think 3 is too young.
Buongiorno, volevo andare a Torino nel week, nn capisco quale sia il sito x prenotare il biglietto alla Mole Antonelliana...mi riporta sempre a dei tour. È possibile acquistare on-line il solo biglietto?
Grazie mille

Ciao per vedere solo la Mole bisogna selezionare biglietto solo per ascensore panoramico.
Apparemment il y a des parties inaccessibles pour cause de travaux? Qu'en est-il? Sachant que le musée ne donne pas d'informations et que le prix du ticket reste le même!
Merci pour votre aide :-)

Bonjour,
Lorsque j’y suis allée, ce n’etait pas des travaux mais des mises en place d’expositions nouvelles ...
Je peux comprendre que cela soit incontournable et qu’il soit difficile de faire autrement, mais ce serait plus correct d’en informer préalablement les visiteurs !
Je persiste à dire que nous n’avons eu accès qu’à environ 1/3 du musée. Nous n’étions évidemment pas les seuls à être mécontents !

Anche secondo me la guida non serve, basta seguire il percorso e vedere quello che ti aggrada di più. Se poi sei un appassionato che vorrebbe conoscere anche i dettagli allora si conviene.
