When Erick and I visited Turin last Fall, we decided to visit the Mole Antonelliana; home of the Cinema Museum with sweeping views of the city. Unfortunately, while the museum was open, the elevator to enjoy the views was closed due to renovations. Instead, we decided we would visit, when we moved here.
Last Tuesday we attempted to return, but again we failed. The museum is closed on Tuesdays.
On Thursday, we were finally able to see the Cinema Museum and although it was a hazy day, the view of the Alps was “postcard-like”. The museum’s construction began in 1863 and was originally meant to be a synagogue. The exhibits are organized on various levels starting with the Archeology of Cinema, to digital technology.
We ended our day with lunch at Pizzeria da Michele.
Our tickets for the museum/lift
The elevator to the top. We were sardines in a can. Views were visible from all 4 sides, so if you don’t like heights, would not recommend.

Multi-level Exhibits
Video with “lights”. I will have to post on Facebook for the video to work.
Does anyone know what movie this creature is from?
“Aliens”
Pizza with capers

So beautiful Pat! I think that monster is from Aliens? The food looks delicious.
The museum is gorgeous as are the views! Food looks outstanding especially the Hazelnut meringue!
