I personally loved the MAO Museum of Turin because it immerses you in a completely different reality from the one we experience every day. It’s an experience I highly recommend!

“I found visiting this museum very interesting because you are immersed in a culture very different from the Western one! I was able to appreciate and be carried away by this magnificent tradition, and with it, I also learned something new that I didn’t know before! An experience I highly recommend because it is different from all the others, yet, like all of them, it leaves a lasting impression!”
