On October the 26th 2023, the Museo Egizio officially launched the events that will celebrate the Museum’s 200th anniversary in 2024.

Many projects and developments are in the works, with the aim of making the Museo Egizio an increasingly accessible, transparent and more open place.

For some time now the Museo Egizio has been reflecting on the meaning of the museum as an institution and its role within contemporary society, through discussions with the directors of Europe's largest museums.

Now, such reflections will be expressed through new installations and major architectural interventions, the latter being designed by David Gianotten and Andreas Karavanas from the Rotterdam-based OMA studio, whose project is now entering its construction phase.

The Museo Egizio is launching its program of scientific lectures for the 2023/2024 season: a rich calendar of events featuring international researchers, museum curators, and directors from the world's most prestigious museum institutions taking turns.This is a valuable opportunity to discover ongoing research on the collection directly from those conducting it, to delve into discoveries, recent excavations, and the most important international archaeological studies, and to reflect on the present and future of museums with directors from around the world.

Rethinking the role of museums in the age of globalisation and digitalisation; this is the aim of “What is a Museum?”, a series of ten encounters, designed by Christian Greco. The series aims at reflecting on the future of museums and accompanying Museo Egizio on a pathway of physical transformation and innovation, in view of its bicentenary, which will be celebrated in the autumn of 2024.

An International Summer School in Coptic Papyrology, the seventh after Vienna 2006, Leipzig 2008, Strasbourg 2010, Heidelberg 2012, Barcelona 2014, and Paris 2018, will be held at the Museo Egizio in Turin from 3 to 10 September 2023. It will be organized by the Museo Egizio in collaboration with the Freie Universität Berlin and the Fondazione per le scienze religiose (Bologna).

The year 2022 marks the bicentennial of the decipherment of hieroglyphs and the Museo Egizio opens a new exhibition focusing on the writings and languages of the Egyptian civilisation.
