In the Royal Library within the complex, but it is so fragile it is shown only on a few announced occasions every few years; a high-resolution facsimile is always on display.

The private collection of Italy's kings: the Galleria Sabauda is the picture gallery within Turin's Royal Museums, founded on the Savoy holdings assembled from the sixteenth century โ and opened to the public in 1832, before Italy itself was united. Its strength is Flemish and Dutch painting, which sets it apart from Italy's other galleries: Van Eyck's Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata, Van Dyck's Children of Charles I, works by Memling and Rembrandt โ alongside Italian masters: Mantegna, Veronese, Tintoretto and Pollaiolo. The gallery occupies a new wing within the Royal Museums complex, and its ticket covers the Royal Palace, the Armoury, the Royal Library (where Leonardo da Vinci's Self-Portrait is shown on rare occasions) and the gardens โ so a single ticket fills half a day in the heart of Turin.
