The Museo Civico d’Arte Antica di Torino was founded to document the visual art of the city and its territory after the Unity of Italy, when the establishment of civic museums was felt as a need to conserve the local specificities of the various Italian states. The Museum also had a strong educational value in as much as it presented models of art as inspiration for the nascent industrial production.
When the museum was moved to Palazzo Madama in 1934, its large collections paintings, sculptures, furniture, ceramics, fabrics, implements, glasswork and enamels, were staged in evocative settings of the epochs which the palace had lived through. The new staging has a chronological course, from the Middle Ages to the Baroque Age, as well as a typological course for the objects of applied art. The museum’s masterworks will be exhibited in the Torre Tesori (Treasure Tower).
