The Museum of Resistance, Deportation, War, Rights and Freedoms in Turin has a name as long and complex as the cultural, economic and social transformations of the period it aims to represent.
Opened in 2003 by the City of Turin, it is dedicated to communicating the history and memory of the values of the Resistance, which it aims to keep alive, linking them with a reflection on the fundamental Rights and Freedoms of the person.
It is an unconventional museum that makes use of original and innovative exhibition languages. In the permanent exhibit, an interactive multimedia tour takes visitors on a virtual journey of Turin in the decade from the approval of anti-Jewish laws in 1938 to the promulgation of the Republican Constitution in 1948. It is also a “diffuse” museum that includes and enhances the places of memory present in the city’s fabric, offering the public an opportunity to grasp the close relationship between history and territory.
