š„ Turin | National Museum of Cinema š¬
Beyond the famous Nietzsche's Turin Horse, inside the iconic landmark, the Mole Antonelliana, there's a museum that's definitely worth a visit, especially for friends who are interested in cinema. š Reasons to Recommend: As a curatorial student who has seen a fair number of museums and is an outsider to the film industry, I found the design and curatorial interest of this museum's props and settings to be very strong, it's almost like a movie-themed amusement park. It's friendly and enjoyable for everyone, from children to people with no background in film, which is rare in most cultural and historical museums. Many people find historical museums boring just by hearing the word 'history'. š Reasons to Recommend: Italian film art is renowned, and this museum preserves many well-preserved film equipment and devices. Starting from the principles and history of the birth of imagery, you can see how old projections worked and the display effects. It's a great place for technical and historical education. Here's a brief description of the inside of the museum. There's a large hall in the middle with many lounge chairs for the audience to watch movies, and the movie screen is huge! Around the hall, there are many theme-designed doors leading to various parts of the exhibition. BTW, there are many (fake) toilets š½ facing the movie screen inside this 'fridge', which should be seats. It's quite a scene when the movie shows people sitting around a table on toilets eating, and I'm sitting on a toilet watching them eat on toilets. When I went in mid-May, all the doors were blocked, and we could only follow the route they had set from the entrance. There are also some retro-decorated rooms inside, all of which are quite interesting, and great for checking in and taking photos. At the time of my visit, a new exhibition had just opened, featuring an introduction and analysis of the film aesthetics of the master of horror movies, Dario Argento, along with many specially made movie props. I didn't know about him at first, but after watching, I became very interested in him. The layout and color of the camera shots are strong and intriguing. I don't know if this exhibition is still on, my bad for writing about it so late. The museum also has a variety of classic movies and even animated montages. After wandering around, I made a list of some I want to watch. Overall, the trip was definitely worth it! #Italy #TurinItaly #MuseumWorthVisiting #Turin #FunSharing #ExhibitionVisit #MustSeeExhibition
