Egyptian museum - Torino -

Dear all, together with my sister Giovanna and my nephew Daniele of 16 years old.Museum was really great, many interesting sightseeings and objects all over the Egypt of different Era. Founded in 1824 with the acquisition of a large collection, Drovetti collection became the French consul of Egypt (of Napoleane Buonaparte). 5628 objects (100 statues, 170 papyrus....)

Ernesto Schiaparelli became the Director of the museum in 1894 and he went to Egypt to acquire further antiquities. Between 1900 and 1937 he added 20000 objects to the museum. The last great addition was the small Temple of Ellesija, nubian monument.
