Roemer- und Pelizaeus- Museum in Hildesheim, Germany

 

 

The Roemer- und Pelizaeus- Museum in Hildesheim, Germany (just south of Hannover) has one of the premier Egyptian collections in the world. Now that the museum has finished a major construction and renovation project, it also has more room and better space to exhibit its vast collection. It also has the opportunity to host many traveling exhibits.

First, the museum has many one-of-a-kind Egyptian artifacts (and yes, mummies). These include a very rare mask of Anubis and a large, unwrapped crocodile mummy. 

Second, it also has a permanent exhibit of Peruvian artifacts, including at least one mummy bundle from Paracas.
