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, established nearly 100 years before Cairo's museum. Jean-François Champollion remarked, "The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin."

During our exploration of the museum's rooms, we'll encounter sarcophagi, mummies, canopic jars, and remnants of ancient Egypt. The museum features a section on papyrus and hieroglyphics writing.

A highlight of the tour will be the Temple of Ellesiya, constructed during the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose III. The guide will provide details about this and other artifacts.

The tour will conclude outside the Egyptian Museum after two hours of exploring the exhibits.
