A third-party informational page (moleantonellianatorino.it) showed lower, conflicting prices (€12/€10 museum, €17/€14 combined) at the time of this audit — resolved in favor of the museum's own official transactional site (museocinema.it), which is the live source visitors actually buy from, per this project's source-hierarchy rule.

The Mole Antonelliana is Turin's tallest and most recognizable landmark, a soaring 19th-century dome-and-spire structure originally built as a synagogue before being repurposed as a civic monument. Today it houses the Museo Nazionale del Cinema, one of the world's most immersive film museums, and a glass panoramic lift that rises through the building's central nave to an observation deck near the spire.
The museum and the lift are two genuinely separate products, each with its own ticket, plus a combined ticket covering both — confirm which one you're buying, since the museum's collection and the lift's rooftop view are very different experiences.
What to See: Top Highlights
The Temple Hall (Aula Antonelliana)
The museum's dramatic central hall beneath the dome, with reclining 'chaise longue' viewing seats and screens showing classic cinema under a 85m-high ceiling.
Panoramic Lift to the Terrace
A glass-and-metal lift installed inside the building's nave, rising to a 360-degree observation terrace roughly 85m above the city.
Film History Galleries
Costumes, props, posters, and pre-cinema optical devices tracing the history of moving images, spread across the building's upper galleries.

Pass Compatibility
Compare Turin PassesThe Torino+Piemonte Card gives free entry to the museum itself, but only a discounted (not free) rate on the panoramic lift — a distinction confirmed directly on the museum's own official site. Neither Go City nor Turbopass currently operates in Turin.
Torino+Piemonte Card
Conditional. A genuinely important distinction, confirmed directly on the museum's own official site: do not present the panoramic lift as a free card inclusion — only the museum collection is free for cardholders.
