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.
