Egyptian Museum of Turin (Museo Egizio)

This impressive museum really takes visitors into the world of ancient Egypt. The Egyptian Museum (as it is known in Italy), is housed in a baroque building of great historical character. There is an impressive collection of Egyptian antiquities as it is the second largest museum of Egyptian history following the one in Cairo. The museum displays a large quantity and variety of mummies in very good condition which is the main attraction of the museum. It also has large sculptures of mythological figures and famous pharaohs. This is definitely a must see - especially if you you´re knowledgable about Egypt or are interested in its history and culture.

Said to be the greatest collection of Egyptian artifacts outside of the country itself and I believe it no matter how sad that makes me.

The museum is well organized and the audio tour is not annoying. Even for people not interested in museums, like my friend, it is very entertaining. We spent a couple of hours in there and were not bored.

Very beautiful pieces. It takes a while to visit it all so take some hours to visit calmly. If you want a better explanation it's worth take the audio guide. Very complete. Not expensive, very well divided and full filed with culture.
