Egyptian Museum of Milan, Egyptological museum in Sforza Castle, Milan, Italy.
The Egyptian Museum of Milan sits beneath Sforza Castle and spreads across seven underground levels. These spaces hold mummies, tomb statues, amulets, and everyday objects that show how ancient Egyptians lived and what they believed.
The collection started in the 18th century, built from works that travelers brought from Egypt to Milan. Over time, important papyri and artifacts were added that offer glimpses into the Greco-Roman period of Egypt.
The displays show how ancient Egyptians honored their gods and what mattered most in their daily lives. The objects and inscriptions help you understand the role that religion and family played in this ancient society.
You enter through the castle, and you should allow enough time to explore the underground spaces and take in what you see. Signs guide you through the rooms, so you can move at your own pace and enjoy the displays.
A particularly long papyrus with texts from the Book of the Dead is displayed here, showing the stories Egyptians told about the afterlife. This find is one of the longest remaining papyri of its kind and reveals their religious beliefs in detail.
