Audio Guide of the Egyptian Museum

The Egyptian Museum is usually open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (the ticket office closes one hour earlier). Booking your tickets online in advance is strongly recommended, especially during high season or on weekends, to guarantee entry and avoid queues. You can do so on the official website: Egyptian Museum – Info and Bookings.

The standard adult ticket costs €18 (as of my latest update). Reduced rates are available for young people aged 15 to 18, university students, and groups. It is recommended to check the pricing section on the official website for specific details and possible discounts. Find more information here: Egyptian Museum – Tickets.

To fully enjoy the main collections of the Egyptian Museum and immerse yourself in the history of ancient Egypt, a visit of at least 3 to 4 hours is recommended. If you are passionate about Egyptology, you could easily spend an entire afternoon exploring every detail.

The Egyptian Museum of Turin is the oldest museum in the world devoted exclusively to the civilization of ancient Egypt, and it houses the most important collection of Egyptian antiquities outside Egypt. It is a key research center, and its collections, which include everything from papyri to sarcophagi and statues, are invaluable for understanding this fascinating civilization.

To avoid the biggest crowds, the best time to visit is early in the morning just after opening, or late in the afternoon before closing. As for the time of year, the low season months (autumn and winter, excluding holidays) are usually less crowded than spring and summer.

Yes, the Egyptian Museum is designed to be accessible. It has elevators and ramps to make it easier to move through all of its galleries and exhibitions. It is recommended to contact the museum in advance if you have specific needs, to ensure your visit is as comfortable as possible. You can find accessibility information here: Egyptian Museum – Accessibility.

Absolutely. The Egyptian Museum is located in the heart of Turin, very close to other points of interest. Within walking distance, you can visit Mole Antonelliana (home to the National Museum of Cinema), the Royal Palace, or Piazza Castello. The city offers countless options to round out your day in Turin.

I recommend downloading the museum’s official app or considering an audio guide to enrich your experience (our own audio guide for the Egyptian Museum is available at iAudioguia.com). Wear comfortable shoes, as you will do quite a bit of walking, and if you are interested in a temporary exhibition, check the website in advance. And don’t forget to charge your phone for photos!
