November will be a month full of events to celebrate the anniversary and the significant transformations of the museum.
The museum is being renovated with a view to being more physically and metaphorically open to the city. This project includes reutilising the baroque building in new ways, with the main aim of giving a new life to the courtyard by transforming it into a covered piazza. The courtyard will be freely accessible and will be easily connected with areas outside of the Museum in order to make it a welcoming space allowing for various visiting routes. In fact, it will be possible to visit the new Museo Egizio in different ways, according to each person’s time, interests, and desires.
This important year offers us a unique opportunity to reflect on the various stages and circumstances which made it possible to bring one of the world’s most important Egyptian collections outside of Egypt to Torino, in order to carry out collaborations and multi-year interdisciplinary research projects to build a museum of the future.
Visiting the Museo Egizio in 2024 means to closely experience the “making of” through the extraordinary works in progress, and to make use of renovated gallery spaces and new methods to enjoy them.
