Turin's National Film Museum

Museo Nazionale Del Cinema is one of the more interesting museums I've visited. This grand brick building, completed in 1889, spans several floors. The interior is a post-modern inspiration with ramps, stairs and glass elevators offering a dramatic experience worthy of its subject matter.

Crowning this building is a spire that rises 552 feet over the city, providing breathtaking views of the region.

Inside, homage is paid to Italian and American cinema, complete with sets, costumes, props, movie posters and multi-media visual effects.

Here Dorothy travels the yellow brick road, an image projected on a model.
