The Museo Egizio in Milan, housed within the historic Castello Sforzesco, is dedicated to ancient Egyptian artefacts. Established in the 1820s, the museum features over 3,000 pieces, including the funerary equipment of Peftauajaset and a bronze statue of Osiris. It was relocated to its current site in 2003 and had a significant renovation in 2021, improving accessibility and adding multimedia displays. Notable sections include daily life in ancient Egypt, funerary cults, and key excavations by Achille Vogliano. Visitors can view mummies, sarcophagi, and the famous Book of the Dead. The museum opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, with an admission fee of €10. Accessibility features are available for all guests.
