The museum is housed in the splendid setting of the former Franciscan convent, with a 15th century Romanesque-Gothic church and a 17th century cloister. The Museum is divided into three sections: archaeological, artistic and ethnographic. Visitors can also visit the Chiesa di San Francesco.

Built as a defensive structure by Philip I of Acaja between 1324 and 1332, it was then transformed by the House of Savoy into a noble residence. The town library is now housed in its sixteenth-century arcades. The guided tours offered by the Tourist Office, located right inside the courtyard of the manor, are not to be missed.

Located on the first floor of the ancient Palazzo Marchionale (now the Town Hall), the chapel preserves one of the most interesting pictorial cycles of early sixteenth century Piedmontese painting linked to the family history of the Marquises of Saluzzo. Precisely at the behest of Margherita di Foix, wife of Marquis Ludovico II, the Revello chapel was entirely decorated between 1516 and 1519 by a painter close to Hans Clemer. The wall opposite the apse is frescoed with a large painting of the last supper, the author of which seems to have been inspired by the famous work of Leonardo da Vinci.
