Museo della Sindone

This place is absolutely wonderful and it will really help you understand the suffering Jesus went through for you.... and the more one is willing to suffer for you the more that person loves you. And remember that Jesus is God one with Our Father and in the unity of the Holy Spirit.... that was your sins that put Jesus on that Cross and all of the sufferings to that point. Every one of your pathetic sins of lust and misuse of your sexuality, stealing and swearing and taking God's name in Vain, all the times you miss mass on Sunday and refused to keep Sunday as a holy day without any work or causing others to work, all of the times you fight both verbally and physically comma and all of the times you refuse to forgive someone who has wronged you. All of the times you have told lies and all of the times you have stolen or was dishonest in any way. You need to run to Jesus because your sufferings are on his body and you can see all of this in this museum. This is how much he loves you and all of this is supposed to inspire you to fall in love with him and to start following his ways and his teachings.... remember to that our Lady suffered as well for you at the foot of the cross watching her son go through this agony..... and what did the father go through seeing his son go through all this and how much does the father love you just send his son because it is the only way you could be rescued.... ponder these things deeply and let it all turn your heart completely to God not your way but his way..... start with the Ten Commandments

An excellent place to spend your time. You can understand the history and the scientific researches about the shroud of Turin here. It’s fascinating to to read about the journey of the shroud and it’s importance to the church. Please note that the original shroud is not on display here. The shroud is publicly displayed only once every few years with prior announcements.

Great info about the history and scientific research of the Shroud of Jesus, that itself is in the Cathedral of Turin. The exhibition in several respects does lack several aspects of information on the biblical points of connection, on the historical aspects of that moment, of the conclusions one can in fact draw, and lacks also a professional touch, especially in the video and media work. For whoever knows little, definitely worth it, for whoever is already more familiar with the story and the science of it, worth it if you have extra time.

It's a 4 for the enthusiasm of the volunteers but as a museum the concept is very stretched as it purports to be a museum about the Shroud and Jesus, with the result too much of the former and obviously too little of the latter (in terms of depth of information). There are some disturbing 3d mockups which are unnecessary and don't add any value to the exhibition.

If you wish to see information about the Turin Shroud it is an ok place to start. First shown a 7 minute video showing various photographs with written information that disappears before you have time to absorb. Then move to small room and shown same copies of photographs. Then copy of shroud on way to basement to see more copies. Copies are a little repetitive.
