Description

Travel back in time with this guided tour of the Egyptian Museum in Turin - a place that will take your breath away!

Turin Museo Egizio Tour

At the selected time, we'll meet at the Via Accademia delle Scienze and head to the Museo Egizio to begin this exciting guided tour.

We'll enter the oldest Egyptian museum in the world, even older than Cairo's - the Museo Egizio in Turin was founded almost 100 years earlier. No wonder the famous Jean-François Champollion said "The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin".

As we explore the different rooms of the museum, you'll feel as if you've gone back in time to ancient Egypt. We'll see sarcophagi, mummies, canopic jars, and many more remains of this ancient civilization. The museum also has an area dedicated to papyrus and hieroglyphics writing that you'll love!

One of the most fascinating places to visit during the guided tour will be the Temple of Ellesiya, built during the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose III. The guide will tell you all about it along with many other interesting facts about the artifacts in the museum.

The tour will end outside the Egyptian Museum after two hours exploring the gallery.

Guida splendida, ci ha fatto rivivere le epoche dei ritrovamenti dei reperti, due ore sono volate, nonostante la folla che era nel museo e un pò di assembramento. Consiglio davvero questa guida egiziana!! Translate this opinion into English.
