Located in the heart of Turin, Palazzo Madama, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the first Senate in the Kingdom of Italy, embodies the city's history: from a Roman gate it became a fortress during the Middle Ages and subsequently a castle for the Acaja princes.

The museum itinerary follows themes related to history, architecture, and the collections.
