There's tonnes of exhibits and interesting displays. I wouldn't have expected that out of an Italian Egyptian museum.

For context, I have a PhD in…read moretheatre and film, so I was really looking forward to getting to this museum while in town for a conference. It hit the mark on many fronts, but it was disappointing in other ways. First, the signage for which line is which is not intuitive. If you want to go up the observation lift, there's a different line than if you just want to go to the museum. Again, the signs of where to go next are vague, and the museum staff don't necessarily wear a uniform, so be prepared for virtually anyone to ask for your ticket. Second, there's a one-way path through the museum, and once you've gone through, they will not allow you back through. There's a beautiful area to sit and watch films during your visit, but it seems counterintuitive to go to that area quite early in your visit. There are no signs indicating you won't be allowed back to enjoy previous exhibits. That's a user design issue that really marred my impression. Now for the good things. The museum has an excellent virtual film area that I recommend. It's obviously a nascent area of film and digital media, but this was very worth the time. The early film exhibits are world class. That alone is worth the price of admission. I wish I could take every film class to this museum! It is simply outstanding. To summarize, some wonderful exhibits sandwiched in with meh exhibits (I could skip the two levels of film posters), and some hit or miss service. Still worth a visit, just be aware of its inconsistencies.

This is a sprawling, multi-storied (5 levels comprising of 5,000 square feet), treasure trove of Italian movie history that I highly recommend to any film buff! For just €11 admission, this place is a bargain. The museum starts with an incredible exhibit on the archaeology of cinema. Here's where you'll find a jaw-dropping collection of magic lanterns, optical boxes, phenakistiscope disks, and original 18th century "Peepshow" boxes. There's a crazy amount of photographs and videos that cover all things movie history. The top level has a cool movie poster gallery. Do NOT miss this if you are a fan of film art! There are different areas and eras that are covered from indie cinema to experimental cinema to trash films to spaghetti westerns to giallo horror to neorealism to modern-day classics and more. Props from popular films, stop-motion demonstrations, and a fun atrium where you can lie down on sofas and watch film clips. Of course it's Italy-centric, but there are items from American films too. Your ticket also includes a special exhibit. When I visited, it was an audio exhibit on film music throughout the ages (and it was awesome)! We needed every second here, but we are huge film fans. There's a small cafeteria on the first floor for light snacks. The museum is so huge that even with large crowds, it never feels crowded. I noticed some of the employees were gruff and impatient with visitors, especially if you didn't speak fluent Italian. We also saw some employees yelling at the large groups of Italian schoolchildren. The biggest letdown here is the gift shop. It's okay, but is mostly filled with replica posters and boring knick-knacks that you can buy anywhere, even in the U.S. Note that the museum is CLOSED on Tuesdays!

There is just so much to see here and while I definitely enjoyed seeing this automotive history, I also learned some too. For example, the "T" in Fiat is "Torino" because the company was chiefly based here in Turin. Just about every vehicle on display also included a caption that explained some of its history but also a QR code you could scan for more information in Italian or English. With their free wifi, I was snapping pictures and taking screen snaps to document what I saw. Old cars, new cars, historic cars, horseless carriages, motorcycles and so much more. Not just Italian cars, there were Packards and Austins and Cadillacs and Jaguars and even an East German Trabant. Absolutely fabulous and well worth the price of admission. Bring comfy shoes, be sure your battery is fully charged and have a fantastic time! (I thought the gift shop was a bit limited and I wasn't really able to find anything particularly memorable to commemorate my visit. I ended up with a keychain that I turned into a magnet.

Yelp Review 2026 #150:…read more Matterhorn Museum is a nice place to visit to learn more about Matterhorn in depth. I've never Googled "hiking Matterhorn" or anything like that. Because one, I'm not hiking Matterhorn. Two, I can just look at it from a good distance. You can tell by its shape that that climb is steep and won't be easy. The first hiker in 1865 died. A few more people ascended the mountain. Those who made it to the peak all tried different routes. There's a room with a model of Matterhorn and when you press a button for each hiker's name, it shows you what route they took. Some were straightforward, one did the long roundabout way, one did a zigzag. There are falling rocks making the hike even more challenging. It's in the top 5 highest fatality rate from hiking in the world with over 500 deaths since the first one in 1865. I appreciate dark information like this because it brings you back to reality before you think about something dumb like hike Matterhorn. There was also drama that involves alleged sabotage involving Edward Whymper and guides Peter Taugwalder, Senior and his son PT, Junior vs 4 other hikers who died because of the 3 survivors previously mentioned. The rope that was allegedly cut to separate the survivors from those who fell to their death is in the museum. The actual story is still being debated by these climbers' descendants. Aside from that, the museum also tells you how Zermatt went from a poor town to a popular tourist town. From the first hotels (Monte Rosa, Mont Cervin and Zermatterhof - which are all still operating), church, flora and fauna. There's a weird section where you can see pictures of animals indigenous to Zermatt and their droppings. You can buy tickets at the gift shop. We got in for free using Swiss Travel Pass. The museum is underground. I just Googled "Matterhorn fatality" and sadly, an Italian hiker lost his life a few days ago.

The museum focuses on the scaling of the Matterhorn, and how the town culture developed around Alpine climbing.

There are lockers to leave bags and hangars for jackets. The second level is below the street and is a metal grate walkway with historical items. The deepest and final level has the largest selection of artifacts and information. An audio guide is available in many languages but you'll need to download an app. Staff is minimal but does speak English.

Upon entry, you are greeted by very tall, well-groomed men--it seemed a little too specific that there were barely any women and the exhibit attendants all looked like male models that needed side gigs. Nothing against good looking people (and modeling is not the easiest industry to get into, so not detracting from them needing work), it just felt excessively deliberate and superficial though I suppose that's the image they want to portray as an old school high end fashion company. The first 2 floors of the museum were basically photographs blown up larger than life poster size from various shoots and campaigns through the years. Nice shots though it felt a bit self-congratulatory and pretentious--like I understand maybe one floor dedicated to photos,--two just felt like too much, also it was just a lot of photos of beautiful people looking beautiful, which is really not that impressive. Any better than decent photographer with a good eye for composition could shoot these given the right resources. I guess it's supposed to make you want to aspire to that impression of beauty, contrasting images of both the girl/boy next door and high fashion shots, both with that sort of unobtainable perfection, exoticism or sex appeal displayed by alternatively a super casual or aggressive pose, or a carefree or mysterious smile, or intense expression. I would've appreciated the photos more if they were about the clothes but really the way a lot of the compositions were framed the clear focus was on the people's faces, bodies/poses and emotions they evoked while they just happened to be wearing Armani which honestly detracted from my appreciation for the fashion itself. On to the top 1.5 floors with actual garments--it looks like they switch up what's on display since from the photos posted several years ago I'm pretty sure not all of these were on display when I visited. I appreciated that you could walk around the exhibit and see the garments and some accessories up close, there are a lot of details you can't see from behind a glass display case! Overall enjoyed the variety and creative design elements. There is an archive "research" area where they have computers and desks set up on the top floor for visitors to look thru archive collections which was nice. Bathrooms were clean and lowkey tastefully designed. There were elevators but not accessible to the general public bc they made you walk up 3 flights of stairs and back down (I tried pressing the elevator button/touch pad but couldn't get it to work?). Aside from top floor, not really any place to sit on the first 3 floors, I saw a couple ladies sit down on the stairs between the floors bc they wanted a break.
