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. These artifacts were housed in the building that still accommodates the two institutions and led to the creation of the first Egyptian Museum in the world in 1824. The installation is recreating the original arrangement of the statues in the courtyards of the temples of ancient Egypt, where divinities and pharaohs maintained a bond with their followers while expressing their authority. Visitors are currently able to appreciate details of the artifacts that were previously difficult to see in the old arrangement, such as the hieroglyphic inscriptions on the throne of the statue of Thutmose I, or details of the headdress of the pharaoh Horemheb. The proximity to the statues is allowing visitors to appreciate them better, without diminishing their grandeur.
