TURIN – Alberto Angela has returned to the Egyptian Museum in Turin. A visit that combines the pleasure of retracing those rooms rich in history with scientific dissemination, a work that Alberto Angela continues to carry out also through his television program NOOS – The adventure of knowledge.
Now in its second edition, the program that takes up the baton – but with its own identity – of the historian Superquarks of her father Piero Angela will be broadcast starting from Thursday 27 June on Rai Uno. In this new season there will be the most beautiful images of nature, space travel, new achievements in medicine, technology, and the latest discoveries in archaeology.
One of these episodes, 7 of which are planned, will also see a part filmed inside the Turin Museum. Angela himself announces it in a long social post which becomes a way to celebrate its 200th anniversary
10 years after filming tonight at the Egyptian Museum – the first episode of my series Tonight at… – I returned to the Turin Museum to shoot a piece for NOOS just recently. I wanted to have the opportunity once again to talk about the discoveries and finds in those rooms and thus celebrate the bicentenary of this temple of culture.
While I was walking through the corridors of the Museum I thought about how much progress has been made in the last 10 years, how much work has been done by the Director Christian Greco in these long, beautiful years.
At his side for the entire duration of the journey was the President of the Foundation Evelina Christillin who expertly supported him through many initiatives and communication activities.
It goes without saying what this place represents for me, because I believe it is the same thing that the people of Turin and with them all Italians feel: the Egyptian Museum has established itself as a point of reference in the sector thanks to the way it tells ancient history and thanks to its educational paths; a place where visitors are enriched with beauty and knowledge and where the past comes back to life, exciting us.
There is no need to remember that over a million visitors have passed through here, that here one lives the experience of an open, inclusive and modern Museum, a place of research and study, exchange and dissemination because the gratitude that I have towards those who, like Greco and Christillin, have been able to valorise this treasure which, yes, of course, had been there for a long time, but which in 10 years has managed to establish itself as one of the most active and recognized cultural realities in Europe.
