Visiting an Egyptian museum when in Italy might sound a bit out of place for many travellers, but the Egyptian Museum in Turin is the  second most important in the world after the one in the Egyptian capital, Cairo. With more than 3.000 items displayed the collections are extensive and may seem overwhelming without the aid of an expert guide to take you through them.  You will meet your local guide specialized in working with kids and families, in Piazza Carignano, one of the most fascinating squares in Turin. You will then start your discovery of the world renowned Egyptian Museum, and your guide will make your visit enjoyable and educational by selecting some of the museum's highlights especially for you.  You will see Sarcophagi, mummies, papyrus scrolls, books of the dead and 3,000-year-old paintings! The guide will entertain both children and parents with quizzes, games and other activities. Your visit will be fun and informative at the same time.
