Devoted exclusively to the art and culture of Ancient Egypt, the Egyptian Museum in Turin is home to one of the largest collections of Egyptian antiquities with over 30,000 artifacts. The collection is the most important of its kind after the Cairo museum.
The decipherer of Egyptian hieroglyphs, Jean-François Champollion, was one of the first among the many internationally renowned scholars who arrived in Turin (Champollion arrived in 1824). These scholars devoted themselves since then to the study of the collections, thereby confirming what Champollion had written: "The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin.”
