GeMM | Geo-Mineralogical Museum of Politecnico di Torino

The Geo-Mineralogical Museum of Politecnico di Torino is the first example of a permanent exhibition within the University. The Museum stems from the desire of the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering (DIATI) to display and give access to its own scientific and historical heritage.

The exhibition project, supported by Politecnico in the framework of its third mission and social impact activities, recounts almost 170 years of history of technology by displaying materials of great value that have marked the history of the university and the advancements of science. The common thread that guides the visitor through the Museum is represented by the importance of Research. Our researchers are nowadays involved in new challenges that will lead to unknown horizons, just like scholars in the 19th century ventured into innovative studies in their times. Sharing these valuable scientific and technological collections with the public is a living historical testimony of the value of research as the driving force of society.

Free guided tours open to the public are organised periodically.
