Boasting the world's second-largest collection of Egyptian antiquities (the largest is in Cairo), it's also the oldest museum dedicated to Egyptian culture in the world. It may sound odd that a European city is the location of this type of museum, but since the House of Savoy started acquiring pieces in the 18th century, the collection just kept growing, consisting of papyrus, tombs, temples, statues, and more.
