Even though the Museo Egizio cannot guarantee a continuous opening to the public due to the measures to fight Covid-19, it keeps working, behind closed doors, as we carry on the researches on our collection, as well as our activities online to share a heritage that belongs to humanity. Every day we publish new content to maintain a fruitful dialogue with our audience as well as with the international scientific community.
Here is a list of online contents that are available for everyone:
Virtual tour of the sections dedicated to the village of Deir el-Medina and to the Tomb of Kha
A new virtual tour is now available on the website of the Museo Egizio! It allows the public to remotely visit the most iconic sections of the collection, those dedicated to the village of Deir el-Medina and to the tomb of Kha.
Starting from a series of 360-degree panoramic photos in high definition, the virtual tour reconstructs the rooms dedicated to the finds from the intact tomb of the architect Kha and his wife Merit, and from the village of craftsmen and workers of Deir el- Medina.

The Director's Walks
Virtual guided tours in the rooms of the museum accompanied by the Director Christian Greco. Just click HERE to watch all episodes.
Temporary exhibition “Archeologia Invisibile” (Invisibile Archaeology)
The virtual tour is available HERE.
The purpose of the temporary exhibition is to illustrate the principles, tools, examples and results of the meticulous work of recomposition of information, data and knowledge made possible today by the application of science and technology from other disciplines to the study of the archaeological findings from the Turin based collection.
The virtual tour is a powerful immersive tool, developed by two students of the course in Cinema and media engineering of the Polytechnic of Turin in collaboration with the filmmaker studio Robin Studio, who, using 360° cameras, have created a 3D faithful reproduction of the exhibition. Thanks to the virtual tour it is possible to explore the exhibition rooms, "browsing" all the elements, watching the videos and perusing the individual finds.
Lastly, the topics of the exhibition can also be explored in the "Archeologia Invisibile" playlist on YouTube. The videos present interviews with the researchers who collaborated in the exhibition and reveal how archaeometrics makes it possible to learn more and more about the biography of the objects.

The curators of the Museo Egizio talk about some of the most curious and special objects in the collection. Every Monday a new episode is released, and English subtitles are available. Discover all the episodes by clicking HERE.
