The location of the Egyptian Museum is central to the city’s points of interest, just a few metres away is the splendid Piazza San Carlo It is located in Via Accademia delle Scienze, 6 .The Egyptian museum extends over four floors and has recently been restored, doubling the exhibition space and renovating the layout. Proof of this are the escalators that trace the ascent of the river Nile, designed by Oscar-winning set designer Dante Ferretti.The Egyptian Museum of Turin is the oldest museum in the world dedicated entirely to the culture of the Pharaohs. It all comes to life when, following Napoleon’s expedition to Egypt, all the courts of Europe show an interest in having finds and testimonies of the ancient Egyptians. France, the British Empire, the Austro-Hungarians and even the Savoy family began to send expeditions. Today the Egyptian museum in Turin represents the largest Egyptian museum in the world outside Egypt and I would add that it can be visited safely compared to the Egyptian one, declared by the same museum in Cairo “branch” connected. A two-hour visit is enough to be able to appreciate the most extraordinary finds, knowing that, as in large museums, some finds are repeated and after 2 hours attention begins to wane. Let yourself be accompanied by the guide, with confidence and serenity. Also ask the guide to take pictures with you inside the museumThis tour is available only in Italian and French . I do not recommend the visit to English speakers because our guide only speaks French and Italian. This could cause unnecessary embarrassment. Sorry!
