The
Museum of Antiquities in Turin recently opens its third section with the exhibition "Archaeology in
Turin" , dedicated to the long history
of the city. The
transfer of the Savoy Gallery in the New Wing of the Royal Palace and
the creation of a single entrance for the two museums - which help to
complete the Royal Polo - provided an opportunity for the preparation of
the premises in the basement, directly overlooking the theater Roman.
The displayed materials are from the result of recent excavations and have never been exposed,
In 1940, with the final separation from the Egyptian Museum, stands the
new Museum of Antiquities, which since 1982 had found an independent
home in the nineteenth century greenhouses of the Royal Palace, where
currently the historic core of the collections is displayed. The
collections of antiquities of Savoy, which were joined by other
international donations and acquisitions, allowing them to trace the
evolution of the taste for collecting and testify to the growing
interest in archeology in Piedmont.
A new pavilion, created in 1998, includes the section of the
Piedmont region. Along the exhibition runs a great trip back in time to
meet one after the other, as in the reality of the archaeological
excavation, and the many and amazing testimonies of the ancient
Piedmont. There is an additional section devoted to the Roman cities of
Piedmont and in particular to Augusta Taurinorum in the basement of the
New Channel of the Royal Palace, which is a unique connection with the
archaeological area of the Roman Theatre.
