Prieure de Sion Posted October 27, 2023 · Member Share Posted October 27, 2023 State Museum of Egyptian Art - Munich Google Maps Tag: https://maps.app.goo.gl/rP2jtX1hSRMbWTnR6 I am currently in Munich and visited the State Museum of Egyptian Art. Actually, I am not very interested in Egyptian history - but we had bad rainy weather. Since Egyptian artefacts are also exhibited in the Roman world - we went on a visit to the museum. Here are a few pictures for the users who are interested in Egyptian artefacts. If you are ever in Munich - the entrance fee is 7 euros / person and worth it in my opinion. I hope you like my pictures a little bit. Rainy weather - come in... This was a Bust of the Roman Epoche in Egypt...

Prieure de Sion Posted October 27, 2023 · Member Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 Museum Homepage: https://smaek.de This is just a small selection of the museum's great exhibits. Many artefacts are explained interactively - a visit is definitely worthwhile. I hope you enjoyed my pictures. Thanks for looking at it. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expat Posted October 27, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted October 27, 2023 @Prieure de Sion Like you, I don´t have much interest in Egyptian art. But, as the Aunt of my Wife lives in Munich, we also visited this museum a little earlier this year. It is actually a well put together collection and worth a visit. You have taken some lovely photos and will definitely give others a flavour of what is there. Thanks for sharing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor Ancient Coin Hunter Posted October 27, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted October 27, 2023 I am not sure if the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza is open yet. Sort of Reminds me of the items in the Cairo Museum - the old existing one next to Tahrir square. They actually have way more objects than they can exhibit stored away for the most part. Really nice photos, thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
