The Museo Nazionale della Montagna sits atop Monte dei Cappuccini, combining exhibitions on Alpine exploration, mountaineering history, and mountain culture with one of Turin's best panoramic terraces. Managed by the Italian Alpine Club (CAI) since 1874, it is the world's oldest mountain museum.
Founded in 1874 by the Club Alpino Italiano, it is one of the world's first museums devoted to mountains. The collection grew through donations from mountaineers and explorers. A 2005 renovation modernised the displays while maintaining the intimate, personal tone of the original collection.
