OGR Torino, or Officine Grandi Riparazioni, is a major cultural and innovation hub in Turin, located at Corso Castelfidardo 22 near Porta Susa. The complex began as late-19th-century railway repair workshops and was later transformed into a 35,000 m² space for contemporary culture, art, music, innovation, education, food and public events. Today, OGR is organised around different areas, including OGR Cult for art and cultural programming, OGR Tech for innovation and start-up acceleration, and Snodo for food and social experiences. For travellers, OGR Torino is not a traditional museum with a permanent collection, but a flexible cultural platform where the visit depends on the current programme. It is especially worth including in an art trip to Turin if you want to experience the city’s industrial heritage reimagined as a contemporary, multidisciplinary and international cultural destination.

Because OGR is one of the clearest examples of Turin turning industrial history into contemporary culture. It is not only an exhibition venue: it is a place where art, music, technology, food and public life share the same monumental industrial frame.
