Museo Egizio In Turin, Archaeological museum in Turin, Italy
The Egyptian Museum holds more than 30,000 artifacts spanning 4,000 years of ancient Egyptian civilization, displayed across multiple specialized galleries and exhibition spaces.
King Charles Felix established the museum in 1824 by purchasing the Drovetti collection, which included 5,000 items such as statues, papyri, and mummies.
Jean-François Champollion conducted research on hieroglyphics using the museum's papyrus collection, advancing the understanding of ancient Egyptian writing systems.
Located at Via Accademia delle Scienze 6, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 to 18:30, with special Monday hours from 9:00 to 14:00.
The collection includes a 1847-centimeter papyrus of Iuefankh, which stands as the longest preserved papyrus in the museum's collection.
