Egyptian Museum, Bonn

The Egyptian Museum of Bonn University exhibits a collection of the most beautiful and interesting objects. With around 700 pieces being exhibited, it is the most important collection of Egyptian culture in North Rhine-Westphalia. The permanent exhibition offers a comprehensive picture of ancient Egyptian cultural history, starting from the fourth millennium BC to the third century AD. The three divisions provide a clear overview of ancient civilization. In addition to a separate area dedicated to the worship of the dead and the afterlife, the exhibition includes detailed temple architecture, facts about the role of the Pharaoh in the religion and the relationship between humans and gods.

The featured clothing, jewelry and tools provide visitors with a better understanding of the daily life of the time. The Book of the Dead fragments, papyri, and many other objects illustrating the rich, literary Egyptian culture are also presented in the museum's collection.
