The Egyptian Museum in Cairo

Turin, Italy Travel Guide

"The Egyptian Museum, second only to the one in Cairo for its collection, has just inaugurated a new setting, which intends to tell the story of the ancient Nile civilization by delving into the history and use of about 6,000 finds including wood, ceramic vases, objects, and pigments," explains De Bonis, who notes that private early-morning tours with the curator can be arranged." - Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz is a writer and editor based in Rome.
