Museo della Sindone

Old fashioned museum but rich in historical objects that were part of the holly shroud journey

Wonderful volunteer guides take you around artifacts, videos and pictures and a copy of the shroud itself. The shroud evidence is genuine!!! Jesus really loves us enough to endure it all!

Very poor service, no or little material and information to support the visit in most foreign languages, the guide could barely speak some English. No audio guide or up to date system to assist the visitors. Dark, not well maintained rooms. Not worth the 8 € entrance ticket. Such a worldwide known and important Relic like the Shroud deserves another quality of presentation.

This museum holds the Shroud of Turin, although only a replica is out on display. The original is brought out rarely for very special occasions. Detailed images and explanations on various tests and photographs taken of the cloth over the years. The chapel which holds the replica is breathtaking, with beautiful frescoes on the ceiling. Highly recommend visiting while in Torino.

An excellent place to spend your time. You can understand the history and the scientific researches about the shroud of Turin here. It’s fascinating to to read about the journey of the shroud and it’s importance to the church. Please note that the original shroud is not on display here. The shroud is publicly displayed only once every few years with prior announcements.

Super-friendly welcome and guided tour from the team here. Very interesting indeed. Thank you very much! Recommended!

The museum was very informative and helped me understand more about the shroud, from its history, science, and well explained in english. Simono is a great english tour guide! And all for €8! God bless

This place is absolutely wonderful and it will really help you understand the suffering Jesus went through for you.... and the more one is willing to suffer for you the more that person loves you. And remember that Jesus is God one with Our Father and in the unity of the Holy Spirit.... that was your sins that put Jesus on that Cross and all of the sufferings to that point. Every one of your pathetic sins of lust and misuse of your sexuality, stealing and swearing and taking God's name in Vain, all the times you miss mass on Sunday and refused to keep Sunday as a holy day without any work or causing others to work, all of the times you fight both verbally and physically comma and all of the times you refuse to forgive someone who has wronged you. All of the times you have told lies and all of the times you have stolen or was dishonest in any way. You need to run to Jesus because your sufferings are on his body and you can see all of this in this museum. This is how much he loves you and all of this is supposed to inspire you to fall in love with him and to start following his ways and his teachings.... remember to that our Lady suffered as well for you at the foot of the cross watching her son go through this agony..... and what did the father go through seeing his son go through all this and how much does the father love you just send his son because it is the only way you could be rescued.... ponder these things deeply and let it all turn your heart completely to God not your way but his way..... start with the Ten Commandments

We enjoyed visiting this museum about the shroud of Turin. As another yelper noted, this is a religious museum but it has many informative and interesting things to read and view. The museum staff members were all so sweet and kind. We had an incredibly amicable and knowledgeable museum guide who was telling us about the history. He spoke to me in Italian and I tried my best to understand any words that were remotely Spanish. :) There was also a short video in English that was helpful. There were English translations throughout the exhibit which also helped fill in the gaps. The chapel was really beautiful, and I liked the Braille metal version of the shroud that was on display in the museum. It showed a picture with famed Italian singer Andrea Bocelli visiting the Braille shroud. There was also a really beautiful backlit art piece.

If you can do a museum in what should be a religious place, this is a good example. The Museo della Sindone mixes modern displays with an abundance of information about the shroud's discovery and pictures of the Holy Shroud. There is alot of time spent explaining the trace shadows which create the image of Christ. In the end (since there is a numbered route to follow), you end up in the church where the Holy Shroud had been stored. This place too was very interesting because of the variety of murals, huge old organ, arrangement of the pews, etc. Very interesting and informative place.
