The Palazzo Madama houses Turin's Turin City Museum of Ancient Art. Depite its name, it is a large collection of paintings, statues, church ornaments, porcelain, and decorative art, mostly from the late Middle Ages to the 18th Century. Turin's museum of ancient art, called Museo dell'Antichità, is located in another place.
