The Egyptian Museum houses the most important collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts outside Cairo. Founded in 1824 by King Carlo Felice after acquiring the collection of the archeologist Drovetti, the museum contains 30.000 exhibits. It documents the history and civilization of Egypt from the paleolithic to the coptic era through unique exhibits and collections of objets d'art, articles of daily use and funeral furnishings (including the Altar of Isis, the canvas painted by Gebelein, the intact tombs of Kha and Merit, and the exceptional cliff temple to Ellesjia).

Museo delle Antichità Egizie di Torino is part of “Art and cultural routes”:
