Museo della Sindone, Religious artifact museum in Centro, Italy.
The Museo della Sindone in Turin is a specialized museum dedicated entirely to the Shroud of Turin and its scientific examination. The exhibition presents analyses, historical documents, and multiple perspectives on this religious artifact.
Founded in 1936 by the Confraternita del Santo Sudario, the museum opened with a formal ceremony marking its establishment. It emerged from a desire to make the research and documentation surrounding the Shroud accessible to the public.
The museum reveals how the Shroud has been venerated in Christian worship and the deep faith it inspires in visitors from around the world. The displays show why this object carries profound spiritual meaning for many people.
The museum is centrally located in the old town and easy to access. Visitors should allow adequate time to explore the displays thoroughly and understand the various scientific presentations on view.
The museum houses three-dimensional images of the Shroud's face created in 1978 by a research team led by Giovanni Tamburelli. These images were produced using advanced techniques and reveal details that are invisible to the naked eye.
