Museo diffuso della resistenza, della deportazione, della guerra, dei diritti e delle libertà
It 'was inaugurated May 30, 2003 in Turin, at the eighteenth-century palace Juvarrian of the "Military District", recently restored.
The birth of the museum is the result of collaboration between local authorities (municipality and province) and various associations that deal with the history of the country, especially the Resistance, as well as monitoring of human rights in the world. The museum is divided into two sections: the permanent and the temporary.
In the permanent section, visitors can relive, through various documents and movies, the history of the city from the racial laws of 1938 to the entry into force of the new Constitution of the Republic, through the tragic events of World War II; In addition, after the renovations, was made accessible again the air-raid shelter in the basement of the museum. The section is rather temporary exhibitions and conferences on issues such as wars and the respect of human rights.
Finally, the museum, in addition to organizing educational activities for schools, reports and promotes the "places of memory" of the territory of the city and province. In the same building, but in Via del Carmine 13, also have their headquarters in Piedmont Institute for the History of the Resistance and Contemporary Society (ISTORETO), the National Film Archive of Resistance (ANCR) and the International Centre for the Study Primo Levi.
