Last thoughts on a great visit!
Second only to Cairo in number of artefacts and very well presented. Arranged chronologically and everything clearly labelled in English. Audio guide a bit redundant.

Turin is covered in graffiti which I loved! Creative, great colours, political, and downright rude.
