Palazzo dell'Accademia delle Scienze

Palazzo dell'Accademia delle Scienze, City palace in Turin, Italy.

Palazzo dell'Accademia delle Scienze is a city palace in Turin featuring baroque architecture with a grand entrance portal and detailed stone carvings across its facade. The building houses both the Academy of Sciences and the Egyptian Museum within its walls.

Construction began on 24 June 1679 under Michelangelo Garove, who completed it in 1687 after modifying Carlo Maurizio Vota's original design. Long attributed to Guarino Guarini, the project is now considered only marginally his by art historians. Initially the Collegio dei Nobili, it became the seat of the Reale Accademia delle Scienze in 1787 by decree of Vittorio Amedeo III.

The building has housed the Egyptian Museum since 1824, when the collection was installed in the palace; the museum entrance was reworked in the 19th century with a neoclassical balcony by Giuseppe Maria Talucchi. From 1865 to April 2012 the Galleria Sabauda was also kept here before moving to the Palazzo Reale.

The palace sits near bus stops and train stations, making it easy to reach by public transportation. Visitors can explore both institutions housed here during a single visit.

A neoclassical balcony was added in the 19th century when the Egyptian Museum opened here, layering a new architectural style onto the baroque structure. This addition shows how the palace adapted over time to serve different purposes.
