Turin Egyptian Museum Experience

At the chosen hour, we will convene at Via Accademia delle Scienze and commence our adventure towards the Museo Egizio, where the guided exploration will take off.

This museum is recognized as the oldest Egyptian museum globally, predating even the one in Cairo by nearly a century. It’s no surprise that Jean-François Champollion famously remarked, "The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin."

Wandering through the various exhibits of the museum, you will feel transported back to ancient Egypt. Discover sarcophagi, mummies, canopic jars, and numerous artifacts from this remarkable civilization. There is also a section dedicated to papyrus and hieroglyphics that will surely intrigue you!

A highlight of this guided experience will be the visit to the Temple of Ellesiya, which dates back to the era of Pharaoh Thutmose III. Your guide will share fascinating insights about this site and many other significant pieces within the museum.

Following two hours of exploration, our tour will conclude in front of the Egyptian Museum.
