Muso Diffuso della Resistenza, della Deportazione, della Guerra, dei Diritti, e della Libertà

The Museum was opened in 2003 inside a 18th century complex. The same building is also home to the National Film Archives of the Italian Resistance, the Piedmont Institute for History of the Italian Resistance and Contemporary Society and the Primo Levi International Study Center. The permanent display - "Turin 1938 – 1948. From the Racial Laws to the Constitution" - illustrates everyday life during the war, German occupation, the Italian Resistance and the return of democracy, through the images, the sounds and the voices of witnesses presented in multimedia installations.

Starting from Turin and the surrounding area during the Second World War, the focus of the Museum extends to Europe, the 20th century and the contemporary age: temporary exhibitions are organized and hosted by the Museum, as well as conferences, film screenings, performances and educational activities. On the occasion of Remembrance Day, Liberation Day and other major national celebration days the Museum organizes special initiatives and events. The concept of “museo diffuso” (widespread museum), underscores the link with the local territory and the commitment towards the promotion of the places of remembrance.
