Egyptian Museum in Turin

Today we visited one of the most popular museums in Italy, the Egyptian Museum in Turin. Turin is located in north western italy in the Piedmont region. It houses one of the largest collections of Egyptian antiquities, with more than 30,000 artifacts, and is considered the second most important Egyptology collection in the world, after the Egyptian Museum of Cairo. It was amazing, they had the book of the dead, numerous psarcofaguses as well as separate displays of Egyptian tombs and artifacts throughout time. It was very impressive and a must visit while in Turin.

The Book of the Dead was a long stretch of parchment and had selected segments translated for you. Look for the two matching pictures in our photos. One of the parchment and one of the detailed translation of that section.Read more
