Museo della Santa Sindone

The museum shows a complete set of information about Shroud's researches from '500 till now, gathering historical, scientific, devoutness and artistic aspects. A part of the museum presents scientific explorations of the shroud from 1898 to present. Scientific investigations documented in the museum have their climax in the amazing three-dimensional image of the face of the Holy Shroud Man elaborated by Giovanni Tamburelli and his team in 1978. A vast space is dedicated to further studies on forensic investigations of the material, its weaving and micro-marks (pollens, blood, aloe, myrrh, aragonite, ...) and on the prints of the coins left on the sheet and their iconographic analysis.
A second section is dedicated to the history (believed as well as recorded) of the Holy Shroud and its worship, starting from the second half of 15th century, when the Sheet became a property of Savoy family. A very important article is the actual wooden box used for the Shroud's final journey to Turin in 1578. A further very important relic is the silver box that has been used to protect the Shroud since late '500 until April 11th, 1997, the day of the fire of Guarini's chappel in Turin's Cathedral.
In the photographical section a full set of official pictures of Shroud is shown. From first pictures taken by Secondo Pia in 1898, to Giuseppe Enrie ones on 1931; the first color picture from Giovanni Battista Judica Cordiglia of 1968; the 1978 STURP scientific picture; the Gian Durate ones of 1997, 2000, 2002, 2010 and the high definition digital pictures from Hal9000 of 2008.Before visit a 5 languages video helps to understand shroud's contents.
The Museum has a path for blind, result of collaboration with the Italian Blind Union - Section of Torino. It is also available a pannel that provides the Shroud in a coded form. For the first time a blind can indeed feel the same emotions that anyone feels the presence of the Shroud.
