Since 2007, we have been supporting the activities of the Egyptian Museum in order to valorize the work and projects which make it one of the world’s most important collections. As ambassadors of the Egyptian Museum and the city of Turin, we help preserve the culture of Ancient Egypt, among the most fascinating cultures of all time.
