Egyptian Museum
MuseumTurinAbout 3 hours
The oldest Egyptian museum in the world and second only to Cairo for what it holds — an entire rock-cut tomb, the Drovetti collection, room after room of it. The single best reason to come to Turin and easily half a day. Consistently the thing visitors expect least and remember most.
