 +0 Entrance

On the ground floor, in addition to the entrance, visitors will find the Museum Ticket Office and the Museumstore. The Historic Gates of the Mole Antonelliana and a new exhibition space covering more than 270 square metres further enrich the Museum experience.

+ 5 The Archaeology of Cinema

On the floor dedicated to the Archaeology of Cinema, you can visit eight themed areas and have a first-hand experience of the optical illusions and devices that marked some milestones in the birth of cinema.

+ 10 The Temple Hall and the Helical Ramp

At the core of the Museum is the stunning Temple Hall, surrounded by small chapels dedicated to the cult of cinema, an area entitled to Cabiria, the masterpiece of Italian silent cinema, another to Turin as a "City of Cinema" as well as CineVR, the first movie theatre in Italy within a museum to be dedicated to VR, and the new Video Game Zone.

From The Temple Hall you can access to the Ramp that like a piece of film unfolds as it goes up into the dome: temporary exhibitions can be seen along the itinerary and a breathtaking view can be admired from the top.

+15 The Cinema Machine

The Cinema Machine is the exhibition area dedicated to the various elements and stages of the film industry: production studios (with a tribute to Titanus, one of the most famed Italian production companies), directing, screenwriting, actors and the star system, costumes, sets, storyboards, the movie theatre.

+18 The Poster Gallery

From The Cinema Machine, you can climb to The Poster Gallery: arranged as a series of phantasmagorical and colourful displays, the posters from the Museum’s large collection trace the history of cinema, films and their most relevant authors. They illustrate the evolution of figurative taste, graphics and advertising poster art.
