Overview

We wish to take you on this exclusive tour in the Vatican Museums which houses the Egyptian and Etruscan treasures, offering an unparalleled glimpse into the art, rituals, and beliefs that shaped these ancient worlds.
The Egyptian Museum was established in 1839, houses an extraordinary array of Ancient Egyptian artifacts. Its nine rooms exhibit items such as statues, sarcophagi, mummies, papyri, and objects related to daily life and religious practices.
The beauty of the Etruscan collection is breath-taking with the intricate bronze works, delicate gold jewellery, and iconic pieces such as the Sarcophagus of the Spouses. Many feature detailed sculptural representations of the deceased, typically shown reclining on a banquet couch, symbolizing the Etruscan belief in an afterlife where the dead could enjoy feasts. The materials used range from terracotta to stone, with some sarcophagi painted or adorned with mythological scenes.
