Meet your guide at the entrance to the Egyptian Museum (Regio Museo delle Antichità Egizie) in Turin and explore more than 3,000 years of history. Discover the home of more than 30,000 artifacts of Egyptian art and culture, located on 4 floors. Turin's association with Egypt dates back centuries. The first object associated with Egypt to arrive in Turin was the "Mensa Isiaca" (also known as the "Bembine Tablet") in 1630. It became a central exhibit at the predecessor to the Egyptian Museum following Napoleon's downfall, and it remains in the museum to this day. Wander among the museum's artifacts, including objects of everyday life. Marvel at colossal statues and see Egyptian mummies and amulets. Learn about the religious beliefs, lifestyles and traditions of the Nile and the land of the pharaohs. Highlights of the museum include the Papyrus of Kings, pre-dynastic mummy, Gebelein canvas and Papyrus of the Strike. Discover the Tomb of Kha and of Merit, and see the Nefertari Kit. Admire the statuary and Temple of Ellesija along with much more.
