Founded in 1824, Turin’s massive Egyptian Museum is the world’s oldest Egyptian cultural museum. Its collection of thousands of ancient artifacts includes statues, mummies, hieroglyphs, and sarcophagi spanning more than 4,000 years of history. The museum’s creation dates back to Napoleonic rule, when European powers were fond of collecting treasures from Egypt.
