Museo Egizio

The Egyptian Museum of Turin is like the one in Cairo, devoted exclusively to the art and culture of ancient Egypt. Many internationally renowned scholars, from the deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs, Jean-François Champollion, who came to Turin in 1824, have been dedicating themselves to the study of his collections since then, confirming what he wrote in Champollion: "The road to Menfi and Tebe passes from Turin ».
