Museo Egizio
Turino, Italy
2025
Background
In May 2025, our team was granted permission to analyze approximately 30 predynastic and dynastic Egyptian vessels from the museum's collection. Museo Egizio is considered to have the second most important Egyptological collection in the world, after the Egyptian Museum of Cairo.
A special thank you to the Museo Egizio, including Federica Ugliano, Marco Rossani, and Federico Taverni.
The museum's collection originated in the early 1800's with a collection obtained by King Carlo Felice of Sardinia. In the early 1900's, excavations in Valley of the Queens and Deir el-Medina, led by Ernesto Schiaparelli, expanded the already impressive collection.
Donations and acquisitions from institutions such as the Kircherian Museum and the Egyptian government further enhanced the collection and established the Museo Egizio as the largest Egyptian museum outside of Cairo.
