The collection of the Reggia di Venaria was created thanks to the loans and donations granted, with generous and solidarity, from the other Savoy residences, from museums and cultural institutions, banks and private collectors. It is made up of over five hundred works, some true masterpieces, including paintings, sculptures, tapestries, furniture, chandeliers, carpets, flags, silver, snuff boxes, clocks and musical instruments. Many of the works have been specially restored by the La Venaria Reale Cultural Enhancement Consortium (now the Consortium of the Royal Savoy Residences), at the La Venaria Reale Conservation and Restoration Center.
