Museo della Sindone

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.

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

I’ve been fascinated by the Shroud of Turin for a lifetime. Out of curiosity, I visited the Museum of the Shroud, but was disappointed to learn that the relic itself is not on public display. Very recently, Tucker Carlson interviewed Jeremiah Johnston about the Shroud of Turin. For decades, experts dismissed it as a medieval fake. Now, new research points to a very different conclusion — and raises the question of whether the skeptics were simply wrong, or deliberately misleading. In a wide-ranging conversation, Jeremiah Johnston presents evidence suggesting the Shroud may, in fact, be the authentic burial cloth of Jesus Christ. Johnston also referenced Doug Powell’s artwork, created in Midjourney by blending the face from the Shroud of Turin with the 6th-century Sinai Pantocrator icon from St. Catherine’s Monastery, dated to around 550 AD. This ancient icon is widely regarded as the closest known visual match to the Shroud’s face — almost an exact likeness. (see attached). The third image is from a Facebook group and is included for comparison (Shroud of Turin).

Very interesting indeed. The volunteer staff were so helpful friendly and knowledgeable.

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.

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

Very informative about the Shroud including how they produced the photo using positive b/w technique that shows better image of the face and body and the detail of the wounds. It's surpriaingly a small church inside the museum which in my opinion was the highlight of this place.
