Royal Armoury of Turin, Historic arms museum in Turin, Italy.

The Royal Armoury of Turin is a specialised museum in the Italian city housing an extensive collection of military equipment spanning different European historical periods. The holdings range from shields and helmets to swords and firearms, all carefully displayed within the elegant rooms of the Galleria Beaumont.

The idea of a royal armoury arose after Charles Albert, king of Sardinia, opened the Regia Pinacoteca in 1832; the emptied Galleria Beaumont then received the Savoy arms collections, and the Armoury opened to the public in 1837. Its core came from the Museum of Antiquities and the arsenals of Turin and Genoa, enlarged by the Sanquirico collection (1833) and the Martinengo della Fabbrica collection (1839).

The Galleria Beaumont houses the collection and features decorative paintings depicting scenes from the Aeneid along with works by court painter Claudio Francesco Beaumont. This artistic setting transforms the space into more than a weapons museum, connecting art history with military heritage.

The Armoury occupies the connecting wing between the Royal Palace and the former State Offices, entered via Benedetto Alfieri's stairway of 1738–1740. The route runs through the Galleria Beaumont to the Rotonda at the far end, with the Medagliere in the adjacent room. The floor is laid in a diagonal black-and-white checkerboard, and the arms are shown in glass-fronted cases along the walls.

The 13th-century sword of Saint Maurice, a Savoy relic, keeps its 15th-century case of impressed, gilded and painted leather. The collection also holds a 14th-century enamelled horse bit from Naples and the pistol carried by Emperor Charles V.
