Automobile Museum - Turin

The city’s strategic museum was renovated and reopened in 2011 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy.

Today, modern museums are very often valuable not only in terms of exhibits, but also in terms of art and the quality of their design. The new design of the Turin Automobile Museum is itself a subject of study and attention.

Perforated metal finish of the large hall of the building and skillful glass exterior design. Darkened halls, emphasizing the originality of the exhibits, and walls decorated in the style of futurism, predicting the acceleration of the pace of our lives.

The exhibits in the museum are not just placed in chronological order. Each exhibit has its own history and is literally placed by the art of the creators of the museum in a real historical era.

Animation, films of the past years immerse the tourist in specific historical features and reveal the secrets of the creation and success of a particular model. The museum can be of interest to any tourist: adult and child, man and woman.

The presence of such a museum in the city is no coincidence. In 1899, the future automotive giant Fiat was opened here, which determined the economic life of the city throughout the last century.

At the beginning of the 20th century, there were about 250 car workshops in Italy, most of which were in Turin. Gradually all Turin automobile workshops were absorbed by FIAT.

The Automotive Museum contains an extensive database on the development of the automotive industry and the formation of automotive conglomerates around the world. Lots of interesting statistics. By the way, Italy is the first in Europe in terms of the number of cars per capita (1.44).
