National Cinema Museum
The National Cinema Museum, housed inside the Mole Antonelliana, is one of the largest and oldest film museums in the world, tracing the history of cinema from its earliest optical devices and pre-film technology through to contemporary filmmaking. Its collection includes props, costumes, posters, and interactive exhibits spread across the building's dramatic interior spaces.
The museum's main hall, a vast open space beneath the building's spire, uses reclining chairs arranged for visitors to watch film clips projected overhead, an unusual and much-noted exhibition design choice.
A combined ticket with the panoramic lift lets visitors pair the museum with the observation deck views, making it an efficient single stop combining architecture, history, and a city panorama.
