La Pista 500
About This Museum
Perched atop the iconic Lingotto building, the former Fiat factory that was once the heart of Turin's automotive industry, you'll find La Pista 500. This isn't your typical gallery; it's a sleek, modern structure on a rooftop that now serves as a public park and test track. The collection is small but mighty, featuring just 25 works that span centuries with surprising ease. It’s a unique cultural experience where art, industrial history, and city views collide in the most delightful way.
Collection Highlights
You can wander from an elegant 18th-century cityscape by Canaletto to the bold, revolutionary shapes of a Picasso sculpture, then round a corner to be met by the vibrant color and form of a Matisse. The carefully curated selection ensures every piece has room to breathe and make its own statement.
Visitor Information
You'll find it at Via Nizza, 262—look for the old Lingotto building, which is hard to miss. Since it's up on the roof, be prepared for some elevators and enjoy the journey up; the panoramic views of Turin and the Alps are part of the attraction.
Architecture & Building
The gallery is housed in a striking steel-and-glass structure built directly on the former rooftop test track of the historic Lingotto factory, masterfully blending industrial heritage with contemporary design.
