The Egyptian Museum of Turin is the oldest museum dedicated to the pharaonic civilization and boasts the second largest collection of Egyptian antiquities in the world, as well as the most important outside of Egypt and after the Cairo museum. 

The Egyptian Museum of Turin is the result of a nearly four-hundred-year journey, which began with the first Egyptian antiquities desired by the Savoy in the 17th century and then with the acquisition of the Drovetti collection which allowed, in 1824, the creation of the first great Egyptian Museum.

The visitor's path winds through five exhibition floors that house approximately 3700 artifacts to tell the story of the Egyptian Museum, its collections, and the archaeological contexts of the objects on display.

Visiting the Egyptian Museum means embarking on a journey through time spanning over 4000 years of history, encountering invaluable artifacts such as the pre-dynastic natural mummy dating back to the 5th millennium BC, the papyrus documenting the first strike in history, and the statues of the legendary pharaohs, especially that of Ramesses II, one of the most famous figures of ancient Egypt. 

Reconstructions of archaeological contexts dedicated to the major discoveries of the Egyptian Museum allow visitors to immerse themselves in the daily life and culture of ancient Egypt, as is the case in the room dedicated to the worker's village of Deir el-Medina, where the exhibited artifacts tell the story of workers involved in the construction and decoration of the pharaohs' tombs, and in the room that houses the funerary equipment of the never violated tomb of the architect Kha and his wife Merit.
