Egyptian Museum Turin: Tickets, Hours & Torino Card Access
Everything to know before visiting the Museo Egizio in Turin — why it's world-famous, ticket prices, opening hours, and how to enter free with the Torino Card.
7/19/20262 min read
The Museo Egizio (Egyptian Museum) in Turin is included in the Torino Card's free-entry circuit. A standard adult ticket costs around €18 when bought separately, making it one of the single biggest savings a cardholder unlocks — especially on a 1-day card, where it should be a priority pick among your three free entries.
Key Takeaways
Second-largest Egyptian collection in the world after Cairo's.
Standard adult ticket ~€18 — included free with any Torino Card duration.
Located centrally on Via Accademia delle Scienze, easily walkable from Piazza Castello.
Allow 1.5–2.5 hours depending on your interest level; it's a large collection.
Booking a time slot online in advance is recommended in high season, even with the card.
Why the Egyptian Museum is worth your time
Founded in 1824, the Museo Egizio holds one of the most important Egyptology collections anywhere, spanning prehistory through the Roman era — statues, sarcophagi, papyri, and the famously well-preserved Tomb of Kha and Merit. It routinely ranks among Italy's most visited museums outside Rome and Florence.
Using your Torino Card here
Present your card's QR code at the ticket desk (or dedicated cardholder line, where available) to receive free admission. If this is the first attraction you visit, this is also where your card activates and its validity countdown begins — see our step-by-step activation guide.
Tips for visiting
Go early or late — mid-morning and early afternoon see the heaviest tour-group traffic.
Book a time slot if visiting in peak season (spring, summer, December), even though the card grants free entry, since timed-entry management applies to all visitors.
Pair it with the Royal Museums, a short walk away in Piazza Castello, for an efficient half-day of culture — see our Royal Palace guide.
