Embark on a journey through Turin’s Egyptian history with a skip-the-line guided tour of the Egyptian Museum, which houses the world’s second-largest collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts.

Learn how Turin emerged as a leading European center for Egyptology during the 19th century Savoy era. With the dedication of individuals like Bernardino Drovetti, a Piedmontese consul in Egypt, and the backing of the royal House of Savoy, the city curated a collection that could rival even Cairo’s. Ancient Egypt was not merely studied; it became a cultural fascination.

Following the museum tour, extend your historical exploration with a drink at one of Turin’s historic cafés from that period. These sophisticated salons, once the gathering places for nobles, scholars, and aristocrats of the 1800s, were where the allure of Egypt resonated in discussions, literature, and politics.

As you enjoy a refined soft cocktail, coffee, or hot chocolate, you’ll immerse yourself in the same ambiance where Egypt’s enigmas were once fervently discussed.
