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.
