Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology

The Petrie Museum, part of the University College of London, is housing one of the greatest collections of Egyptian and Sudanese archaeology in the world, with an estimated 80,000 objects. It illustrates life in the Nile Valley from prehistory through the time of the pharaohs, the Ptolemaic, Roman and Coptic periods to the Islamic period.

The collection contains outstanding works of art from Akhenaten’s city at Amarna: colourful tiles, carvings and frescoes, and from many other important Egyptian and Nubian settlements and burial sites. The museum houses the world’s largest collection of Roman period mummy portraits (first to second centuries AD)
