Public services

The visit unfolds on multiple floors, in multiple interconncted buildings, and sometimes the passage is subtle: you’ll probably enter from the Royal Palace and end up towards the Gardens, passing through the New Wing, where you’ll visit the Savoy Gallery and the Archeological Museum. If you are unsure, please contact customer services.

The 3D exploration of the Musei Reali, the official app and the audioguide allow you a great autonomy in visiting the Museums.

In some rooms the illumination and temperatures are kept low to protect the works: the ancient colors exposed to direct light fade, and, above all, the humidity and temperature conditions significantly affect the good health of the works of art. We try to maintain a controlled microclimate, even though it is not always easy in historic buildings like ours: therefore, we invite you to resist the temptation to open the windows to enjoy the view; we are working to create panoramic locations that do not conflict with conservation needs. Together we can protect our heritage.

WARDROBE

HOW TO PLAY

Le opere d’arte della Galleria Sabauda sono presentate in modo formativo, ma in chiave divertente e interattiva, grazie alla realtà aumentata, a mini-giochi, enigmi e stimoli interattivi che coinvolgono l’utente. La struttura del gioco permette all’utente di giocare singolarmente o in squadra, in modo da includere gruppi di visitatori, ma anche singoli utenti.

Per iniziare a giocare è necessario inserire un nome e l’impostazione del livello di difficoltà, si creerà così un profilo utente utile a registrare il punteggio accumulato durante le sfide.

Successivamente, al giocatore è richiesto di scegliere un personaggio avatar con il quale affrontare l’esperienza: sono disponibili sei personaggi, di cui tre appartengono alla storia di Torino, e tre si riferiscono alle professionalità dei Beni Culturali.

La scelta del personaggio influenza lo svolgimento della visita poiché ad ogni personaggio corrisponde una prospettiva di gioco differente. La Clementina, pittrice di corte, un giovane Cavour in veste di paggio e il Duca Carlo Emanuele I seguiranno il visitatore attivando informazioni e indovinelli che narrano la storia della città, della corte Sabauda e dei dipinti esposti in Galleria. La restauratrice, la curatrice e il ricercatore introducono invece alle tecniche di restauro, all’organizzazione museale, ai temi e alle iconografie dei dipinti.

In seguito alla registrazione e alla scelta del personaggio, l’applicazione guiderà l’utente lungo le sale della Galleria Sabauda attraverso la visualizzazione di una mappa interattiva. L’area di gioco è suddivisa in 10 settori da “conquistare”, ognuno caratterizzato da un mini-gioco e da un insieme di indovinelli. Per non trascurare l’aspetto educativo del gioco, in seguito alla scelta del personaggio, viene presentata all’utente una scheda informativa, in modo che il visitatore possa informarsi sulle figure professionali del mondo dei Beni Culturali o sui personaggi storici.

 

Come funziona MRT Play, Conquista la Galleria Sabauda?

All’interno delle sale della Galleria Sabauda, avvicinandosi ai supporti nei pressi dell’opera, il visitatore riceverà sul suo smartphone, un segnale da una delle antenne installate nei pressi di un’opera. Questo segnale permette di partecipare al mini-gioco e quindi di interagire con il dipinto in maniera divertente. I mini-giochi variano di sala in sala e sono stati costruiti in rapporto alla composizione, ai temi e alla struttura di rappresentazione delle opere interessate. Sono presenti sia mini-giochi con meccaniche classiche (sistemi di combinazione e puzzle, ricerca di figure e individuazione delle differenze), sia forme ludiche più complesse, che richiedono il funzionamento dei sensori che caratterizzano i moderni smartphone (operazioni di disegno, scrolling e movimento del telefono, digitazione su schermo touch, etc.).

A ogni avanzamento nel completamento del mini-gioco, saranno fornite informazioni aggiuntive sull’opera.

In base al livello di difficoltà selezionato e alla percentuale di completamento del mini-gioco, il giocatore riceve un punteggio base. Terminata questa fase, nella stessa sala saranno attivati degli indovinelli basati sulle conoscenze acquisite dalla comprensione dei contenuti presentati nella sala e dall’attenzione posta dall’utente durante la visita.

Completato anche l’indovinello, l’area verrà “conquistata”. Il frutto di queste vittorie sarà segnalato nella mappa interattiva, in modo tale da mostrare all’utente l’avanzamento del gioco.

Dopo la conquista di tutte le sale, con la conclusione della visita alla Galleria, il giocatore potrà vedere il proprio punteggio finale e conoscere i migliori punteggi degli altri giocatori inserendosi nella classifica. Non è però obbligatorio terminare tutti i giochi, l’app salverà i risultati degli utenti, che potranno tornare successivamente per terminare tutte le attività disponibili.
