This is a great collection of Egyptian artefacts in a modern and well laid out museum. Good lighting also helps to provide dramatic effect particularly with the statues and mummies. Perhaps a few more interactive displays would have made this 5 stars.

One could spend an entire day here and still not see everything. The descriptions (in Italian and English) are clear and informative. There's a convenient café providing refreshments and also a snack lunch, as and when needed.

Well, this was one of the most educational and compelling tours we took. Our guide, Nasr Ammar was so knowledgable, it was like walking back in time to the glory days of Egyptian culture. Mr. Ammar even taught us how to read hieroglyphs. This was to be a two-hour tour and it could have been a three or four hour tour. The museum, as we learned, is the best for antiquities and only second to Cario's museum. I urge you to take the tour and make it a day. We certainly enjoyed Nasr, both personally and professsionally. A real scholar.

I was surprised by the size of the collection. It covered all aspects of Egyptian life over 4000 years ago including a wig of real hair. Although we were tired when we entered the museum we still took over 2 hrs to go round it. The insight into the lives of the middle classes was fascinating.

This museum is a must-see for anyone interested in Ancient Egypt. A free audio tour is available via QR code, so bring your ear buds/headphones. There is an amazing number of exhibits, and signage is in Italian and English. The visit starts with a history of the museum, explaining how these artifacts came to Italy, before the start of the exhibits. Also, there is a very convenient cafe with excellent paninis, bagels etc, which provided a much-needed break during our four-hour visit.

Before my trip, I questioned whether I wanted to visit an Egyptian museum when I was in Italy. However, this museum exceeded all expectations! I did not do an organized tour nor audio tour, but instead wandered on my own and read the information on each exhibit (available in English, Italian and other languages). The mummies, artifacts, statues, and “Book of Death” are from another time!!! Totally cool and amazing. Do not miss the bottom level! Absolutely loved the Egyptian Museum.

I'm not usually a massive museum person - but the Museo Egizio is fascinating. We started our visit from the top. No museum can possibly properly display every piece it owns and here smaller pieces were at least on display in cramped glass cabinets. The museum proper started on the next floor down and continued chronologically through the history of Ancient Egypt. From time to time there were little detour rooms where processes were explained such as how to build a coffin. A free audio tour is available via QR code, so bring your ear buds/headphones. However, we just wandered and read what we wanted of the explanations next to the exhibits which are in Italian and English. The staff are extremely friendly and everything is organised impeccably - when entering my university student son was sent to a window to have his student I.D. checked (thus his paying €3 to my €18), the cloakroom staff ask what you want to store and direct you to the appropriate locker (we paid the mighty sum of €1 for the smallest locker to put our winter coats in), etc. Book on-line to beat the queues as we did.

Very interesting museum! Visited with my girlfriend (who is usually not as interested in history as I am) and we both really liked the exhibition. I really liked that a path leads visitors through the building. It was very unfortunate that the Gallery of Kings (which I would’ve loved to see) was moved to another museum the day before we went there and therefore it was closed.

If you visit Turin, please just include a visit in this museum. Even if I knew it is a world wide known museum everything was over my expectation! I learned a lot of things. A do it yourself visit may be long and/or superficial. I really suggest to book a guide tour! Maybe expensive but really usefull.

I have been to the Cairo museum albeit more than two decades ago. Though this museum doesnt have the grand pharoahic tombs and mummies, it did a much better job explaining the items and the various dynasties including an interesting part on pre- dynastic - a lot of information I was not aware of. There are a lot of wonderful displays including items from intact tombs, all laid out superbly chronologically. Took me 3 whole hours and I had to skip some bits at the end. Highly recommended, good value given the amount of information and large number of displays.
