The Museo d'Arte Orientale (MAO) is one of the few European museums dedicated entirely to Asian art, housed in the elegant 18th-century Palazzo Mazzonis in the Quadrilatero Romano. Its five galleries span South Asia, China, Japan, the Himalayan region, and the Islamic world.
Opened in 2008, the MAO brought together collections previously dispersed across several Turin museums. The Palazzo Mazzonis was sensitively restored to house the five cultural zones, each designed to evoke its region's atmosphere.
