Established in 1824, Turin's Egyptian Museum is truly a journey into a time warp. An expansive history of Egypt is right before you, exhibited from 4000 B.C. all the way up to 639 A.D. Thanks to signifcant historical progessions (i.e. the Napoleonic campaigns) the museum has an astonishing collection of Egypt's ancient culture. The Drovetti Collection, a core sight of the Egyptian Museum, fathers 98 statues, as well as an extraordinary collection of papyri which can be considered as the most important set of Egyptian written documents in the world. Other notable displays include the Tomb of Kha, the Ellesija Temple from Nubia, and the oldest painted Gebelein cloth in the world. Admissions starts at EUR 3 for children, EUR 6 for adults.
