Il Museo Nazionale della Montagna “Duca degli Abruzzi” is located in Turin, next to the church and the convent of Monte dei Cappuccini, in a panoramic position from which you can admire a long stretch of the Alps and the city below. The idea of establishing a Museum was born in 1874 among the first members of the Italian Alpine Club, which had been founded in the same city a decade earlier. Currently, the Museum operates, with a wide and diverse range of activities, both nationally and internationally. It aims to be a cultural hub that ideally unites, in every aspect, the mountains of the entire world.
