The collection is uniquely important because so much of it comes from documented excavations, many lead by Flinders Petrie at Tanis, Tell Nebesheh, and Tell-el-Amarna. The large typological series of objects (amulets, faience, objects of daily use, tools and weapons, weights and measures, stone vessels, jewellery) provide insight into how people have lived and died in the Nile Valley.
Address: Malet Place, London WC1.
Admission: Free of charge.
Opening hours: Open to the public Tuesday to Saturday 13.00 – 17.00.
We are also open for group and individual researcher visits on weekday mornings 10am - 12pm and all day Monday, but booking for this is essential - please contact the museum.
