The
virtual museum was launched on 29 March 1999. It presents on the Internet
the collections of historical interest which testify to the School for
Applied Engineering at Castello di Valentino merged and formed an association
with the italian Industrial Museum (1862).
In the virtual museum you can see construction and machine models, scientific
instruments, and testing equipment. But more than this the Virtual Museum
offers insights into the history of the places and buildings, which have
made Turin a "polytechnic city".
The museum is completed by a gallery of biographies, a rich comparative
chronology, a reference bibliography and search engines to guide your
path through the hundreds of pages and illustrations.
