Athens: The
National Archaeological Museum
houses a number of human and animal mummies, some of them on display in
the museum's Egyptian
exhibit.
According to historian-museologist
Marios Savvoulidis, the museum "holds the fourth most important
Egyptian collection in Europe, numbering some 7,000 objects of all
periods, from Predynastic to Roman. Some of the museum's holdings are
unique, like the Takushit bronze statue." The Ministry of Culture
publishes a catalog of the collection, entitled The World of Egypt in the
National Archaeological Museum (Athens 1995). Thank you, Marios.
