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. …

Loved it. The lift journey is worth the admission on its own. The cinema museum is a wonderful trip through the history of film within incredible antique cinematic equipment on display. If you like costume, it’s perfect with a never-ending display.

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.…

I had no idea how important Italy was in the history of cinema or that this museum even existed. A wonderful combination of fascinating and campy, if you enjoy movies, you will love this place. Two memorable scenes. Lying in the personal recliners watching scenes of movies from around the world, on massive screen, dubbed in Italian. And riding the terrifying glass elevator to the rooftop viewing area, with the best view of Turin in the city. A very fun afternoon!…
