The Museo delle Antichità Egizie is
the only museum other than the Cairo Museum that is dedicated solely to
Egyptian art and culture. Many international scholars, since the
decipherer of Egyptian hieroglyphs Jean-François Champollion, who came
to Turin in 1824, spend much time pouring over the collections. It was
Champollion who famously wrote, “The road to Memphis and Thebes passes
through Turin”. The collections that make up today’s Museum were enlarged by the excavations conducted in Egypt by the Museum’s archaeological mission between 1900 and 1935 (a period when finds were divided between the excavators and Egypt).
