5 Mind-Blowing Museums in Turin, Italy
Home to the Second Largest Egyptian Museum in the World
Since Turin is Italy’s most regal city, you’ll find there are plenty of enchanting, well-preserved museums scattered around town. Not only will you find museums featuring historic cultural gems, you’ll also find modern gyms dedicated to art, sports (especially soccer — if you’re a Juventus fan, you’ve got to visit Turin!) and cinema.
During my years studying in Turin, I even stumbled upon an exhibition that featured real Egyptian artifacts — for free! This was in Officini Grandi Riparazioni (OGR, which I pronounce like the English word “Ogre”) where I would often grab a coffee or slice of pizza for lunch and study with friends.
Luckily, we went on a Sunday (the third Sunday of the month is when all museums are free), so we lucked out and got to explore plenty of Egyptian artifacts and statues for $0.
Be sure to visit at least one museum while in Turin — it’ll make the trip worth it! Turin has always been part of the beating heart of thriving kingdoms and civilizations throughout history; naturally, there’s plenty to see and many types of museums to choose from.
