Why is there such an important Egyptian Museum in Turin? How did the Egyptians live? What did they eat? How did they mummify their dear ones? These and many other questions will find answers during this 2-hour private tour of the Egyptian Museum of Turin, my absolute favourite museum in the city. It houses the biggest Egyptian collection in the Western World. Together, we will embark on a journey through ancient Egypt discovering sphinxes, mummies and hieroglyphs. The Museo Egizio is one of the most appreciated museums in Italy and is the 6th most visited museum in the country. If you are visiting Turin, don't miss out on viewing this extraordinary collection, second only to the museum in Cairo for Ancient Egyptian artefacts. -For customizing this tour, please inquire for a quote. Backpakcs need to be deposited at the cloakroom. It is possible to take photos with no flash. The adult ticket is currently reduced to 14 instead of 18 € due some ongoing works which affect 2 rooms (gallery of kings).
- We'll meet at the museum's entrance, and from there your tour will begin, we'll be focusing on the highlights in this vast and spectacular collection. - We'll begin our journey through 5000 years of Egyptian history, spanning from pharaohs to mummies to giant statues of Egyptian divinities. - An artefact of particular interest is the tomb of Kha and Merit, an uncorrupted tomb brought to light in the 1910s thanks to the archaeological missions put in place by the museum itself: the tomb contains a complete set of objects for the couple's life on the other side that tell us a lot about the everyday life back then. - We'll finish our tour admiring the statue of Ramses II and other ones in the spectacular setting of the Gallery of the Statues. Ticket cost (€18 per person) is excluded from the total tour price. I will send you the info to easily book the tickets online. Museum entrance is free if you have purchased the Torino+Piemonte museum card. Please note that the museum is closed on Monday afternoons.
