In the heart of Turin, an elegant Baroque palace houses the Egyptian Museum, the oldest museum in the world dedicated to Egyptian civilization. Founded in 1824, the museum is now one of the most important Egyptological collections internationally and represents a unique reference point in Europe for the study and discovery of ancient Egyptian culture.
An immersive journey through the history of Egypt
The collection includes statues, papyri, sarcophagi, and everyday objects, offering a journey through over 4,000 years of history, art, and archaeology. The exhibition is constantly evolving thanks to an ongoing project, with new areas and multimedia installations that enrich the visitor experience and make each visit unique.
