One of the world's most beautiful collections of Egyptian antiquities. On strolling through the ground-floor halls under the gaze of the pharaohs of the New Kingdom, note the rupestrian (rock) temple of Thoutmes III transported from the Nile Valley to Turin when the Aswan Dam was constructed. The museum has sarcophagi, canopic jars, mummies and funerary steles, and objects of daily life. Hieroglyphs and “sacred texts” complete this inspiring collection.
