Second only to the museum in Cairo, this museum was founded in 1924 with the part purchase of the Drovetti collection of Carlo Felice di Savoia. From then the museum has expanded and now holds 30,000 pieces many of which are discoveries from the Italian Archeological Mission in the last century. 5,000 years of art, religion and daily life in Pharaoh times are displayed here through real treasures including the black statue of Ramses II, the book of deaths, the tomb of Kha and Merit and the rocky temple of Ellesiya.
