Description
With Egyptian Museum Turin entry and a digital audio guide, you set the pace of the visit. The museum holds one of the largest collections of Egyptian antiquities found outside Egypt itself, and this ticket lets you wander through it for as long as you like (around two hours is a good guide).
The galleries are full of things to stop and look at:
- Monumental statues
- Intricately decorated sarcophagi and mummies
- Ancient papyri and everyday objects from daily life
The audio guide runs on your smartphone and tells the stories behind the most remarkable pieces, giving a clearer picture of the pharaohs, priests and craftsmen behind them. There is no live guide, so you can linger over what interests you and skip what does not. It suits history enthusiasts, archaeology lovers and curious travellers alike. Bring a fully charged phone, and headphones if possible, as they are not provided. The experience is offered in English, Italian, French and Spanish.
