Egypt Museo Turin
Turin conjures a famous religious antiquity.
But, It is also home to the worlds oldest Egyptian Museum, and the stunningly beautiful Royal Place of Turin, the latter’s ticket including a visit to the chapel of that Shroud.
The Shroud itself is at home in the adjacent Cathedral of Saint John The Baptist
I had intended to visit the (yet to open) Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo on this journey, so a day trip from Milan to Turin’s Museo Egizio was the next best thing.
An interactive at the Egyptian Writing section also gave you the opportunity to write your name in Hieroglyphics. You can do so too here 🙂

The Cappella della Sacra Sindone (chapel of the shroud is attached to the Cathedral, but oddly divided to be part of the Royal Palace.
The actual Shroud of Turin, is protected in a 5 metre long case
Museo Egizio was well above expectations, a stunning collection.
And the Royal Place of Turin, was elegant as expected, but the Armory was something else
