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.

It is a cold and rainy Sunday in March when the guided tour of the "The World of Tim Burton" exhibition awaits us, booked for some time (€5). Our turn is at 10, but at 9.15 there is already a queue at the entrance. They let us in with priority and, while we wait, we take a tour of the book shop. Books and gadgets abound (magnets, postcards, diaries, pencils, chocolates...), even if at certainly not popular prices! Despite this, the queue at the checkout is long...
Having paid the necessary commercial tax, we enjoy the film on the history of the Museum, with the images that flow and narrate. A beautiful story that of Adriana Prolo who begins to collect film material in the markets and contacts filmmakers and production companies, collecting objects and testimonies of all kinds.
The guide arrives punctually (young, friendly, prepared) and the visit can begin.
The exhibition develops along the spiral ramp that rises inside the Mole, of which the gigantic concrete pillars that protect and support the original brick structure of the architect are impressive. Antonelli.
The exhibition follows the evolution of Tim Burton's work: from his youthful influences, which directed his spirit towards fantastic and monstrous forms but tinged with humor and irony, to his first films, to his work at Disney, full of bitterness and disappointments, up to to the first successes and international recognition. Here is the reconstruction of the artist's studio, the unreal images that he brought to paper, notebooks, bar wipes, in an irrepressible and sudden creative flair. There are photographs, notes, drawings, small and large mannequins made to his specifications, film scenes, animations...
An exhibition not to be missed, interesting and curious.

I have visited this museum several times on the occasion of several temporary exhibitions and I absolutely Recommendation to visit it.
I was just these days to see the temporary exhibition of the Movie Icons and what about... STUPENDA!
You have until 13/01/25 to see it and I recommend the Road.
For those who have never been to this museum, set aside at least a couple of hours to see the permanent exhibitions especially the one about the history of cinema.
Recommendation, always buy your ticket online. Once in front of the museum you can go directly inside and enter skipping the whole line.

I have already been to this museum twice and both times it was interesting.
The visit lasts approximately 1:30/2 h, it is interactive and interesting even for the little ones. The rooms are large and dark (dimly lit but atmospheric). You can only purchase the ticket for the museum visit or even to go up the Mole Antonelliana via the lift (a unique experience if you are lucky enough to find good weather).
The only flaw: there are never any seats during the visit.

It 'inside the Mole Antonelliana, we had already booked online buying and then using the Torino Piemonte card, so at the time we went and they let us in. It's been a fortune because the line for those who had not made the ticket in advance was very long. Interesting museum, on the ground floor the history of cinema related to ancient cameras, games of lights and mirrors, then on the first floor begins a path with movie posters, Move Icons, objects and artifacts of films, costumes, 50s locations to more modern environments, an uphill path around the mole with more internal paths in which the history of cinema is re-presented through actors, registers, and various...... a beautiful moment that brings to life old films with the flavor of modern with 3D cinema........

Saturday, August 24 shortly after the opening, very few people. We went back to the museum to visit the exhibition and we loved it, even me who is not an enthusiast and expert.
Various objects, characters, costumes, movies and posters all very very interesting, we stayed 2 hours quickly revisiting the always beautiful museum.
Entrance 15 euros, as you climbed hotter and hotter, many steps, young polite and very kind staff

The Lumiere brothers certainly did not think that their invention could go that far and create a world full of imagination, ideas, work!!
The Cinema Museum is a real journey into this world, difficult to explain in a few words: an exhibition of posters, photographs, scenic artifacts, objects used in the various films, original costumes .. inside the Mole Antonelliana. You have to go and visit it to understand all the work, effort and passion there is.
Well done the path of the Archaeology of cinema (from the dawn of machines and tricks and scenic effects used up to the present day) but, in my opinion, we would need a guide for visitors.

We went with our 7-year-old daughter to show her and approach with what was exposed. The cinema museum appears well structured and the route allows you to understand the evolution of the tools in the sector. The exhibition is located on the second floor. Upon entering we were very impressed by the location, large space with rotating path upwards. Exhibition full of drawings. We did not climb on the mole because our daughter was afraid of heights and was scared even watching a movie with VR effect in a pavilion that offered the vision in Virtual Reality that was accessed after a long line without the content of the video being revealed that may not be suitable for children of a certain age. However apart from this small inconvenience the museum is worth a visit.

The cinema museum is at least in Europe a unique museum of its kind. This is particularly well-finished and tells not only a story of the films but also of the prehistory of the cinema, the beginnings and then continues with techniques and genres. It also hosts temporary exhibitions on various topics (at

The museum itself is interesting but I think the temporary exhibition The World of Tim Burton is not to be missed. Unfortunately it will end soon and booking on the site is no longer possible. I recommend going directly to the place before 8.45am and waiting for it to open (we were inside at 9.10am). It's the only way to be sure of getting in quickly, the alternative is a couple of hours of queuing. The staggered entrances allow you to visit everything calmly and without the crowding typical of important art exhibitions.

This place is absolutely splendid! We spend a good part of the day there, there is always something to see and watch. We start with a first approach to the origins of cinema etc, with beautiful objects and the diffusion of the first “films” and then we are brought into a more contemporary part of the films that charms us just as much. Both children and adults will be amazed and will spend a very beautiful time through these sets, stagings and exhibition that take us both through time and at the same time through cult universes! I strongly advise!

Avrei intenzione di prenotare il biglietto visita museo + salita con ascensore alla Mole Antonelliana, è possibile usare l'ascensore, uscire per pranzo e tornare a visitare il museo dopo pranzo? Se non fosse permesso quanto tempo occorre per visitare il museo e salire alla Mole?
Written March 28, 2022
consiglio d'entrare al museo nelle prime ore della mattinata, fare la fila e salire alla Mole Antonelliana, assicuro che la vista da lassù è ... spettacolare. Una volta scesi, un 2ore 1/2 o 3 ore siano sufficienti. Il Museo, unico nel suo genere, gratificherà la Tua visita, Ti auguro serenità e gioia nel visitarlo...

Ho acquistato un biglietto online per sabato 11, ma a causa di un imprevisto mi verrà difficile andare. È possibile spostare la prenotazione al giorno successivo?

Si possono prendere due biglietti, l'ingresso all'ascensore è separato da quello del museo.

Is it worth taking my 3 year old there? When is the best time to go?
Written February 11, 2020
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.

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 !

Conviene prendere la guida per visitare il museo?
Written April 8, 2019
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.
ciao
