You must visit this museum when you come to Turin. The museum is entered from the Via Delle Accademia Science and your bag is scanned with a metal detector before entering. Down an escalator to the ticket hall, no backpacks are allowed in to the museum and you have to pay €1 for the privilege of a locker. Tickets are €15 for an adult, and no student fare is offered. Make sure you pick up your audio guide. The first rooms describe the accumulation of the collection, the history of the expeditions and about the curators. Much time is taken to state the museum's archaeological context. Up several escalators (or a lift), the first room you enter represents the predynastic era, complete with a very old mummy. There is a sign stating that all human remains are marked with a red triangle on the label and can be skipped if you so wish. All the artifacts are fully described and the location of the find is provided to add context. The audio guide and descriptions give much information on the items, their purposes and significance. On a balcony above is an open storage area full of artifacts, categorised with overall descriptions of the categories. The next room contains a three dimensional reconstruction of a tomb, with the locations of the original paintings as was and the reconstruction of a tomb with the grave goods and sarcophagi in the original locations along with mummies. Further on, more intact tombs are present with their grave goods, and there is more seating here, as with each room. These rooms contain artifacts from the New and Middle Kingdoms, and the audio guide describes the significance of each item the ideology, and their development throughout Egypt history im political, religious and social contexts. Archaeological information is also given, about the excavations as well as the construction of certain artifacts. Also in this room is a royal cubit, a linear unit of measure thay can be subdivided in many ways and is a wonderfully preserved specimen. The Deir el-Medina room shows Egyptian daily life, as well and the funerary, religious and cult worlds. It represents the unique site that gives us a view of the New Kingdom at a personal level, from that of "living" Egyptians compared to the sombre nature of the more typical sarcophagi and grave goods. The Missione Egitto temporary exhibition focuses on the work of Ernesto Schiaparelli, his life and work at the museum. There is a specific audio guide for this section and it is very engaging, giving the history in aneasily accessible, and dare I say it, amusing way. This exhibition is only open until 14th January 2018. The tomb of Kha is an almost fully complete example of a high status tomb. The grave goods were found intact and such variety had not been found before. It is important as it consists of usually perishable items like food and textiles, allowing speculation ofthe diet and clothing styles of the middle upper class of the time. The gallery of sarcophagi is a fantastic collection and a great resource to learn from. There are also several unwrapped mummies here, in fantastic condition for a several thousand year old body. The Late Period rooms show the development of the culture in many areas, like religious beliefs and technology. The Ptolomeic era room tells of the addition of Egypt to the Hellenistic empire. The Gallery of Kings is a room full of monolithic statues, detailing various pharoahs and their reigns. Such a wealth of information is available because of collections like this, the work that went in to interpret it and the ongoing research and conservation. The Egyptian Museum in Turin is an astounding collection spanning several thousand years of ancient history, brought to life in an engaging and accessible way.
