Egyptian Museum

The museum’s collection includes a wide range of ancient Egyptian artifacts, including mummies, sarcophagi, statues, papyri, jewelry, and everyday objects such as tools and pottery. Many of the museum’s most famous pieces come from the collection of Bernardino Drovetti, an Italian diplomat and collector who was based in Egypt in the early 19th century.

One of the highlights of the museum is the collection of royal mummies, which includes the mummies of some of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs, such as Seti I and Ramses II. Other notable artifacts include the Turin King List, a papyrus that lists the kings of Egypt from the earliest times up to the 19th dynasty, and the famous statue of Ramses II, which stands over 10 meters tall.

The museum also houses a library, which contains over 140,000 volumes and is one of the largest libraries in Italy dedicated to Egyptology. The Egyptian Museum is considered one of the most important museums of its kind in the world, and it attracts visitors from all over the globe who are interested in ancient Egyptian history and culture.
