The Egyptian Museum of Turin, also known as Museo Egizio, is widely regarded as one of the most important collections of Egyptian artifacts outside of Egypt. Visitors consistently praise the museum for its extensive and well-curated exhibits, which span thousands of years of ancient Egyptian history.
