Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation, Contemporary art museum in Turin, Italy

The Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation is a contemporary art museum in Turin housed in a former industrial building that was converted to serve as an exhibition and cultural venue. The repurposed space features galleries designed to display artworks across multiple floors and mediums.

Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo founded the non-profit institution on 6 April 1995, first showing her collection at the family's Palazzo Re Rebaudengo in Guarene d'Alba. Francesco Bonami was named artistic director and became honorary director in 2014. In 2002 the Turin venue opened in Borgo San Paolo on the site of the disused FERGAT factory, converted by architect Claudio Silvestrin; its design won a gold medal for Italian Architecture at the Milan Triennial in 2003.

The foundation commissions new work, including Doug Aitken's Electric Earth, which won the international prize at the 1999 Venice Biennale. Its education department has run intercultural projects with young artists and city centres since 2007.

The Turin venue occupies the site of the former FERGAT factory in Borgo San Paolo, a short walk from the city's public transport lines. The entrance is the dark rectangular doorway set into the long blank wall, to the right of the mounted black star and the FONDAZIONE SANDRETTO lettering. The building is a low, flat structure with no windows on the facade, so look for the sign rather than a conventional museum front.

The foundation also commissions new works, including Doug Aitken's eight-channel video Electric Earth, which won the international prize at the 1999 Venice Biennale.
