The Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile (National Automobile Museum), also known as Mauto, is open daily, all year round. It welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 07:00 PM. On Monday, the museum closes at 02:00 PM.
The museum is open on major holidays, such as Christmas and New Year's Day, but opening hours might be reduced.
The museum tends to be busier on weekends, so it is better to plan your visit for weekdays. Come at 10:00 AM to catch the quietest time and set aside two hours to explore all the exhibits.
Being one of the most famous tech museums in the world, the Museo Nationale dell'Automobile houses a spectacular collection of vintage and modern cars. It consists of over 200 exhibits representing 80 automobile brands from different European countries and the United States. You can admire Ferrari and Alfa Romeo racing cars and the legendary Model T by Ford.
The museum's collection transports you through the ongoing evolution of the car. You can explore the visionary project of Leonardo da Vinci, 19th-century steam coaches, the first Italian motor cars — Bernardi Triciclo 3,5 HP from 1896 and Fiat 3,5 HP from 1899 — and a wide range of 20th-century inventions and even take a glimpse into the future of cars.
The Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile is located in the "motor city" Turin, at Corso Unità d'Italia 40, and you can easily get there by public transportation. Take subway Line 1 to Lingotto station and walk down Via Garessio — you will reach the museum in about 10 minutes.
Another good option is to get there by tourist bus. Take City Sightseeing Bus Line B and get off at Stop 4, right in front of the museum.
A full-price ticket costs €15 and allows you to explore the permanent collection as well as temporary exhibitions. The price is reduced to €12 for visitors aged 18–25 and over 65. A ticket for children aged 6–18 costs €5.
Entry is free for children under 6, people with disabilities (over 67%) accompanied by one caregiver, journalists with a certified press card, and holders of the Torino Piemonte Museum Subscription or the Torino+Piemonte Card.
