Description:
Due to its success last year, we are pleased to bring this course to you once again! The Museo Egizio (Egyptian Museum) in Turin, Italy, is one of only two large institutions in the world — alongside those in Cairo — to be exclusively dedicated to the antiquities of ancient Egypt. Founded in 1824, it is also the oldest such institution, and celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2024. Through a combination of lectures and visits to the museum, you will discover the history of the Museo Egizio, admire its masterpieces, and familiarise yourself with the entire collection, as well as with a number of selected artefacts of particular historical significance. Our Course Coordinator, who will accompany the group throughout, is Dr Kathryn Piquette.
