        Egyptian Museum Of Turin: Towards The New Gallery Of Kings

        The Egyptian Museum of Turin is currently showcasing a new temporary exhibition called ''Towards the New Gallery of Kings.'' The exhibition is displaying statues of gods and pharaohs in its Gallery of Kings. The Academy of Sciences and the Egyptian Museum are collaborating to offer visitors an experience that traces the origins of the museum, which dates back 200 years to when the majestic sculptures of pharaohs and deities first arrived in Turin in 1823, along with thousands of other artifacts from the Drovetti collection.
