About This Museum

People often wander in here, a bit lost from the Turin bustle, seeking a quiet moment and find themselves transported across continents. The heart of the place is its collection, gathered over centuries by savvy Italian explorers and diplomats with an eye for beauty. You'll find everything from serene Japanese tea ceremony sets to fierce Nepalese temple sculptures, all tucked into the elegant rooms of this old palace. It’s less a formal museum and more like stepping into the lavishly decorated home of a world traveler from another age.

Collection Highlights

Don't miss the delicate Chinese snuff bottles, each one a miniature masterpiece, or the room dedicated to vibrant Tibetan thangka paintings that seem to glow from within.
