The museum occupies the first floor of Palazzo Carignano, a baroque building commissioned by Emamuele Filiberto of Savoy Carignano in 1679 and completed between 1864 and 1872. In 30 rooms the story of national unification and the Risorgimento is reconstructed. Look out for the room where the first Italian parliament was held and the studio of Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour.
