Boasting the world's second-largest collection of Egyptian antiquities (the largest is in Cairo), it's also the oldest museum dedicated to Egyptian culture in the world. It is honestly one of the most impressive museums in Turin, one I enjoyed way more than I thought I would.

I know it may sound odd that a European city is the location of this type of museum, but since the House of Savoy started acquiring pieces in the 18th century, the collection just kept growing, consisting of papyrus, tombs, temples, statues, and more.

Admission is €18, though it's free to visit with the Torino+Piemonte Card. Just be sure to book your ticket in advance (see the link below and choose the Free admission by Pass option if you've purchased the city card)!
