What travelers are saying

It also features a basement-level air-raid shelter where some local residents stayed for months on end as the war raged on outside.

Dark Times In Turin

It's probably best if you understand a little Italian but there are some English subtitles and you don't need language to experience the virtual reality of a bombing, or the air raid shelter.

A wonderful, important place.

This is a beautiful museum that tells the story of the Italian Resistance near the end of World War 2. I don't know if there are other museums dedicated solely to telling this powerful and inspiring story. My only disappointment was that most (but not...More

Disappointing

After walking for a while to find the place, we ended up not going in as there was not much in English. Although after reading some of the reviews on here, I am wondering if it was a good thing walking g away.

World War 11 wasn't that long ago. There are still many people around who lived through it, or were born soon after. It's important for us all to learn from history and this museum provides personal accounts and contemporaneous film footage. It's probably best if...More

A bit of a let down

Museum about Italy around the time of WWII (a bit before, during, and after) about the Resistance in Italy. I found it a bit bland. It's main attractions are people's recounts of what happened in their experience (videos in Italian with English subtitles), but I...More

Such courage...

Housed in the 18th century Quartieri Militari, not far from the city centre, this is an interesting, albeit slightly grim reminder of dark times in Italy's history. Without wishing to be too trite, it also reminds us of the incredible bravery of some. Very multimedia...More

This museum is placed in the basement of an old institution and has a good atmosphere. It is entirely multimedia, with old movie clips on each of the themes covered and some interviews of People affected. Crazy to see people become communists just to oppose...More
