Turin: Egyptian Museum
: The last thing we expected on our Turin visit was to come face to face with Egyptian mummies, sphinxes and pharaohs. But we’re really glad that we made time to visit the Museo Egizio (Egyptian Museum)as it was a fascinating and pretty spectacular museum visit.
The Museo Egizio is housed in a 17th century palace which was originally built as a Jesuit school. Its collections were not so well known to the public in the past, but all that changed when after a substantial modernization and reorganization of its exhibits, the museum was reopened in 2015. It now ranks on the international stage, and is in fact the most important collection of Egyptian artefacts after the Cairo Museum.
You don’t have to be an Egyptologist to enjoy the Egyptian Museum. The entrance fee includes an audio guide. With the guide you can walk around at your own pace and select different itineraries. With several levels of civilization, human and animal forms of the various gods, Egyptian ancient history can be difficult to unravel. We found the audio guide very useful as it helped us appreciate what we were looking at.
Some of its more significant exhibits include:
- the Mensa Isiaca (the Table of Isis)
- an important statue of Ramesses II
- one of the most significant Papyrus collections. It includes the Royal Papyrus, which lists every king from 300 to 1,600 BC. Jean-Francois Champollion, decipherer of Egyptian hieroglyphs, spent time here decoding the hieroglyphics.
- the Tomb of Kha dating to 3,500 BC
- sarcophagi, mummies and books of the dead from the Drovetti collection
- A 3500 BC painting on canvas which was found in 1931
- Old Kingdom funerary paraphernalia from the Tomb of Unknown (Tomba di Ignoti)
- The 3,500 year-old Ellesija temple built for Tuthmosis III

Egyptian Museum of Turin, Italy
The Museo delle Antichità Egizie is the only museum other than the Cairo Museum that is dedicated solely to Egyptian art and culture. Many international scholars, since the decipherer of Egyptian hieroglyphs Jean-François Champollion, who came to Turin in 1824, spend much time pouring over the collections. It was Champollion who famously wrote, The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin.

The Museo Egizio is an archaeological museum in Turin, Piedmont, Italy, specialising in Egyptian archaeology and anthropology. It houses one of the largest collections of Egyptian antiquities, with more than 30,000 artefacts.
The first object having an association with Egypt to arrive in Turin was the Mensa Isiaca in 1630, an altar table in imitation of Egyptian style, which Dulu Jones suggests had been created for a temple to Isis in Rome. This exotic piece spurred King Charles Emmanuel III to commission botanist Vitaliano Donati to travel to Egypt in 1753 and acquire items from its past. Donati returned with 300 pieces recovered from Karnak and Coptos, which became the nucleus of the Turin collection.
In 1824, King Charles Felix acquired the material from the Drovetti collection (5,268 pieces, including 100 statues, 170 papyri, stelae, mummies, and other items), that the French General Consul, Bernardino Drovetti, had built during his stay in Egypt. In the same year, Jean-François Champollion used the huge Turin collection of papyri to test his breakthroughs in deciphering the hieroglyphic writing. The time Champollion spent in Turin studying the texts is also the origin of a legend about the mysterious disappearance of the Papiro Regio, that was only later found and of which some portions are still unavailable. In 1950 a parapsychologist was contacted to pinpoint them, to no avail.
In 1833, the collection of Piedmontese Giuseppe Sossio (over 1,200 pieces) was added to the Egyptian Museum. The collection was complemented and completed by the finds of Egyptologist Ernesto Schiaparelli, during his excavation campaigns between 1900 and 1920, which further filled out the collection. Its last major acquisition was the small temple of Ellesiya, which the Egyptian government presented to Italy for her assistance during the Nubian monument salvage campaign in the 1960s.
Through all these years, the Egyptian collection has always been in Turin, in the building designed for the purpose of housing it, in Via Accademia delle Scienze 6. Only during the Second World War was some of the material moved to the town of Agliè. The museum became an experiment of the Italian government in privatization of the nation's museums when the Fondazione Museo delle Antichità Egizie was officially established at the end of 2004. The building itself was remodelled in celebration of the 2006 Winter Olympics, with its main rooms redesigned by Dante Ferretti, and featured an imaginative use of lighting and mirrors in a spectacular display of some of the most important and impressive Pharaonic statues in the museum collection.
Items of interest include:
Assemblea dei Re (Kings Assembly) a term originally indicating a collection of statues representing all the kings of the New Kingdom.
Temple of Tuthmosi III
Sarcophagi, mummies and books of the dead originally belonging to the Drovetti collection.
A painting on canvas dated at about 3500 BC (found in 1931)
Funerary paraphernalia from the Tomba di Ignoti (Tomb of Unknown) from the Old Kingdom
Tomb of Kha and of Merit, found intact by Schiaparelli and transferred in toto in the museum
Papyrus collection room, originally collected by Drovetti and later used by Champollion during his studies for the decoding of the hieroglyphics.
Mensa Isiaca (The Table of Isis)
Tomba Dipinta (The Painted Tomb) usually closed to the public.
The Turin King List (or Turin Royal Canon)
The Egyptian Museum owns three different versions of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, including the most ancient copy known. An integral illustrated version and the personal copy of the First Royal Architect Kha, found by Schiaparelli in 1906 are normally shown to the public. On more than one occasion the director of the Museum was asked to remove the two copies of the book on display and stock them in a deep and dark basement, always for strictly esoteric reasons (as the papyrus emanates negative energy).[citation needed] At the time of writing, none of these requests appears to have been put into practice.

MUSEO DELLE ANTICHITA' EGIZIE di Torino: Texts including hieroglyphic, cursive hieratic, Demotic and Coptic are collected in one gallery. Funerary equipment. The preservation of the corpse was essential for everlasting life. After mummification the body was placed in a coffin (sarcophagus) rectangular at first, and later anthropoid or mummiform. Funerary texts appear on the coffins and on the papyrus rolls that aided the deceased in his navigation towards the Afterlife. Funerary statuettes (ushabti), which acted as human substitutes in the expected field duties were among the tomb equipment.
