The Egyptian Museum of Turin is the oldest museum in the world entirely dedicated to Egyptian culture. The original nucleus consists of the precious collections of the House of Savoy, which are gradually enriched by the archaeological discoveries of Ernesto Schiapparelli and Giulio Farina, up to including the ancient temple of Ellesiya saved from the waters of the Aswan dam.
The new layout of 2015 has created an extremely captivating museum itinerary, full of surprises and that mysterious charm that has always cloaked ancient Egypt.
It is without doubt one of the most spectacular museums in the world, and for this reason it is housed in the Mole Antonelliana, an extraordinary monument symbol of Turin.
The National Cinema Museum owes its uniqueness to the originality of the exhibition that spirals upwards, creating a fabulous multimedia adventure.
The panoramic lift also offers a breathtaking view of the city: an essential experience.

success, highlighting how Lavazza has become part of the daily life of Italian
families thanks to Armando Testa’s advertising campaigns.
