★★★★★a year agoA fantastic modern art museum (starting mid-1800s). I really appreciated their online cataloged which enabled me to tell which piece was by which artist. The have a mix of fabulous sculpture (old and new), and a lot of pieces that make you think. Really worth a visit. Free with your Torino + Piedmont card.
