What to expect

Boasting a world-class collection of ancient artefacts, Turin’s Egyptian Museum has been wowing allcomers for almost 200 years. Enjoy an intimate experience discovering some of its more than 30,000 priceless treasures, spread over four floors, in a small group tour. Davide, one of our local guides and a qualified Egyptologist, says ‘I’m lucky to have the museum on my doorstep it’s not easy to travel to Egypt to learn about the Egyptians. Find out all about their beliefs and superstitions and the meaning behind the artefacts.’

Delve into the symbols and images of Egyptian hieroglyphics. See the show-stopping, 18-metre-long ‘Book of the Dead’ among the collection of 700 papyri and 17,000 fragments, used as instructions to help the dead navigate the afterlife. In the Gallery of Kings, walk under dramatic spotlights that shine down on colossal statues of pharaohs, gods and spiritual protector the sphynx. ‘It was believed that the essence of the portrayed personality lived within the statue itself,’ adds Davide.

Glimpse into ancient Egyptian day-to-day life through sandals, clothes, musical instruments, toys and food. Your expert guide will show you the opulent tombs of Kha and Merit and the Temple of Ellesiy – saved by a UNESCO campaign and brought to Turin. The museum maintains 21°C to 24°C room temperatures to preserve everything you see inside. Plus, you’ll also get to see the 24 human and 17 animal mummies, from cats and birds to crocodiles.
