The Egyptian Museum in Turin is not only the oldest Egyptian museum in the world after Cairo, it is also a cultural treasure that houses one of the most significant collections of Egyptian antiquities. Among the most notable works is the Statue of Ramesses II, an imposing figure that captures the essence of Pharaonic grandeur. Then don’t miss many of the papyri, among the best preserved in the world, for a fascinating look at ancient Egyptian life and beliefs.

Come prenotare i biglietti per il Museo Egizio di Torino

My advice, which applies to many of the famous museums, is to book tickets online first (below is the link to book admission with the tour), especially if you plan to visit the museum on the weekend because the line at the entrance is really long. Booking tickets allows you to enter by skipping the line-you’ll have more time to devote to your visit. Along the tour of the Egyptian Museum Turin you will also find some multimedia aids that provide in-depth insights with 3D reconstruction of archaeological areas or show you the places where the objects came from).
