Museo Nazionale del Cinema

(National Cinema Museum)

To celebrate the history of cinema, from its origins to today, the National Museum of Cinema offers visitors numerous exhibits and multimedia displays. The Museum couldn't have a better location – it is housed in the famous Mole Antonelliana. One of the most interesting exhibits is the collection of pre-cinema objects belonging to the Prolo Foundation (which founded the museum in 1941). The main and central room is dominated by the golden idol of the film "Cabiria" by Giovanni Pastrone. Five floors, which wind around the central room, lead you through the history of cinema (from the magic lamps to digital film). Museum director Confino (from Switzerland) has made this museum an unforgettable experience.(from: extratorino.it)
