Museum of Oriental Art Turin
The Museum of Oriental Art in Turin, known as MAO, is one of Italy’s most refined cultural institutions dedicated to the artistic traditions of Asia. Housed in the restored Palazzo Mazzonis, the museum brings together exceptional collections from China, Japan, India, Southeast Asia and the Islamic world, creating an elegant journey across centuries of craftsmanship, spirituality and visual expression. Visitors encounter everything from Japanese samurai armour and Zen‑inspired sculpture to delicate Chinese ceramics, Himalayan ritual objects and masterpieces of Islamic calligraphy. The layout encourages slow, attentive exploration, allowing each gallery to reveal the cultural depth and aesthetic diversity of its region. MAO has become a vital centre for intercultural dialogue in Turin, hosting exhibitions, research projects and events that highlight the ongoing relevance of Asian art in a global context.
