Museum of Oriental Art Turin - Restoration Works

Restoration Works

The restoration of Palazzo Mazzonis and its transformation from a Baroque palace to the Museum of Oriental Art took five years to complete. The idea was to keep the existing features, which is why facilities were installed in less important sections, an underfloor heating system was used, and piping lines were placed in existing ducts. Two Japanese-inspired dry and wet gardens were created at the entrance courtyard. Fire detection and protection, lighting, video surveillance, audio system for emergency evacuation, climate control, sanitation, and plumbing systems were also put in place.
