Egyptian Museum (Milan)

The Museo Egizio (Italian pronunciation: [muˈzɛːoeˈdʒittsjo] ) or Egyptian Museum is a museum sited in the Sforza Castle of Milan, Italy. The Castle is one of the most famous monuments in Milan and is home to several museums including the Egyptian Section of the Milan Archaeological Museum, the Museum of Ancient Art, the Pinacoteca and the Museum of Musical Instruments.

• Deities and cults
• Everyday ancient Egyptian life
• Funerary cult
• Excavations conducted by Achille Vogliano
