Tickets to the Museo d’Arte Orientale

It’s an indoor museum that is less known, so the number of visitors will be lower at all times. Nevertheless, we recommend going there on weekdays or in the morning to explore it at your own pace.

Located in Turin’s historic center, Museo d’Arte Orientale is close to several bus and tram stops in the neighborhood. Bus routes 11 and 52 from Porta Nuova pass close to the museum. You can also board tram 4 from Porta Nuova to reach the museum.

The Museo d’Arte Orientale, or the Oriental Art Museum, is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

Located within Palazzo Mazzonis, Museo d’Arte Orientale, or MAO, is a relatively new addition to the list of tourist attractions of Turin. Nonetheless, this museum is home to one of the most impressive collections of Asian art in Italy. So, what’s in store for MAO’s visitors?
