About This Adventure
Discover the National Cinema Museum, nestled in the iconic Mole Antonelliana. Experience a captivating spiral journey through cinema's history, enriched by interactive exhibits. Climb to the top for breathtaking views of Turin and the majestic Alps, all within a stunning architectural masterpiece that symbolizes the city's heritage and unity.
Be amazed by the National Cinema Museum, located in the beautiful Mole Antonelliana, where you can climb to admire Turin from above and its magical Alps.
Among the most important in the world for the richness of the heritage and the multiplicity of its scientific and popular activities, the National Cinema Museum owes its uniqueness to the peculiarity of the exhibition layout. Housed at the Mole Antonelliana, Turin's symbolic monument, the Museum develops in a spiral upwards, on several exhibition levels, giving life to a spectacular presentation of its extraordinary collections and retracing the history of cinema from its origins to the present day, in a suggestive interactive itinerary.
An architectural symbol of the city of Turin, the Mole Antonelliana was initially conceived as a Synagogue, before being purchased by the Municipality to make it a monument to the national unity. Designed and started by the architect Alessandro Antonelli in 1863, it was completed only in 1889. It was, at the time, with its 167 and a half meters of height, the tallest brick building in Europe.
