The Egyptian Museum is reconfirmed every year as one of the ten most visited museums in Italy, thanks to the spectacular new exhibition space that has doubled compared to the past. The museum's itinerary is split between four floors, which are divided into rooms that chronologically present five millennia of ancient Egyptian history. It starts approximately at the Pre-Dynastic Period of around 4000 BC, until the Islamic era of around 1000 AD.
At the very beginning of the itinerary you'll find a whole new section that tells the story of the museum's history, which is quite an adventurous one!
One the most interesting innovations you can enjoy is the new exhibition with one of the Museum's most important pieces: the so-called tomb of the Ancient Kingdom that dates back to the third millennium BC. The study of the tomb's excavation documents and original planimetry made it possible to carry out an incredible reconstruction. Aside from one of the mummies and some burial objects that are displayed in a separate window, you now have the opportunity to see the original position of each of the objects found inside the tomb by the archaeologists of the past!...
