The New Sabauda Gallery opened in December 2014 in Turin, Italy.
The relocation of the Sabauda Gallery completes the final configuration of the Royal Museums master plan, consisting of the city’s most prestigious museums: the Royal Palace, the Royal Armory, the Archaeological Museum, the Royal Library, and the Palazzo Chiablese exhibition space.
Finally, the project achieves perfect cohesion between the artworks on display and their natural setting, returning one of Italy’s leading public art galleries to the public.
The project is characterized by careful restoration work and a discreet and elegant arrangement of exhibits, fully respecting the existing historic building.
With the move to the long sleeve designed by Emilio Stramucci in the 19th century, occupied until a few years ago by the offices of the Piedmont Region, the royal collection has returned to its original splendor. Larger and more functional exhibition spaces now house more than 800 works of art.
The collection of world-renowned paintings guides the organization of space on all floors of the building, while all central functions necessary for the life of a modern building are located on the ground floor and in the attic.
The project, winner of an international competition announced in 2003, was developed in collaboration with Rick Mather Architects and in association with OBR Architects and Studio Albini.
