Turin Museo Egizio Tour

At the selected time, we'll meet at Via Accademia delle Scienze and head to the Museo Egizio to begin this guided tour.

We'll enter the oldest Egyptian museum in the world, founded almost 100 years before Cairo's museum. The famous Jean-François Champollion noted, "The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin".

As we explore the museum's rooms, you'll experience ancient Egypt. We'll see sarcophagi, mummies, canopic jars, and more artifacts. The museum also features an area dedicated to papyrus and hieroglyphics writing.

A highlight of the tour will be the Temple of Ellesiya, built during the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose III. The guide will provide insights into this temple and other artifacts.

The tour will end outside the Egyptian Museum after two hours of exploring the gallery.
