The Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum has nothing short of a phenomenal collection of Egyptian artifacts and mummies. Included in the exhibit is a ceramic Anubis mask (the only one in a public collection) that dates  from 600 B.C.

Also displayed in the human mummy collection are the poorly wrapped mummy of a child (it is literally wrapped in rags) and a Ptolemaic period mummy named Ankh-Hapi. Also exhibited are many unusual masks: one rare mask is made of silver, others are made from cartonnage, one early example (5th Dynasty) is made from plaster. One of the first anthropoid-shaped sarcophagi is also displayed (made during the reign of Thutmosis I). Also displayed is an early ceramic coffin which is quite rare. It would have been covered with a reed mat.

Included in the animal mummy collection are three sarcophagi (for a cat, a baboon, and a mouse), a cat mummy, an ibis mummy, and the largest crocodile mummy (unwrapped) that I've ever seen (at least 10-12 feet long and in perfect condition).

Last but not least is an example of a brain hook, used to remove the brain during the mummification process.
