Overview & Visitor Introduction

The Museo Egizio is the world's oldest museum dedicated entirely to ancient Egyptian civilization, and holds the second-most important Egyptological collection on Earth after the Egyptian Museum in Cairo — over 40,000 artifacts spanning prehistory to the Roman era.

Standard adult admission is €18.00. Tickets are sold exclusively online through the museum's own official website — the museum does not sell tickets at a walk-up box office, so arriving without a pre-purchased ticket risks being turned away on a busy day.

Fragments of the Turin King List, a rare ancient Egyptian king-list papyrus, alongside one of the world's largest papyrus collections outside Egypt.
