The Museo Egizio in Turin is one of the world’s leading centres for the study of ancient Egypt, housing more than 30,000 artifacts that trace over four millennia of history. Founded in 1824, it is the oldest museum dedicated entirely to Egyptian culture and remains second in importance only to Cairo’s collection. Its galleries unfold inside an elegant Baroque palace in Via Accademia delle Scienze, where visitors encounter monumental statues, richly decorated sarcophagi, papyri of extraordinary length, and the beautifully preserved funerary assemblage of Kha and Merit, recently reinstalled as part of the museum’s ongoing renewal projectMuseo Egizio. The Museo Egizio blends rigorous scholarship with immersive storytelling, offering a vivid journey through daily life, religion, art, and the afterlife of ancient Egypt. Its dynamic exhibitions and research initiatives continue to make Turin a global reference point for Egyptology.
Turin ItalyMuseo Egizio is located in the historic Palazzo dell’Accademia delle Scienze at Via Accademia delle Scienze 6, in the heart of central Turin, Italy.

The surrounding area is filled with elegant cafés, boutiques, and historic arcades, and is easily reached on foot from Torino Porta Nuova railway and metro station in about ten minutes.
