Staatliches
Museum Ägyptischer Kunst
in Munich, Germany
The
Staatliches Museum Ägyptischer Kunst
in Munich, Germany, is a
small, almost forgotten, museum in its present location.
Essentially two
large rooms, the museum has a stunning assortment of Egyptian
art. Visitors should be forewarned, however, that many of the
displays did not have any labels (not even in German) so that it
was difficult to determine the details behind the display. When
I visited, the museum appeared to be in a transitional phase,
and proper labeling may be forthcoming.
The
collection includes many beautiful coffins, some striking Roman
era mummy masks (including a plaster crocodile mask), and mummy
of a young Roman child. Particularly notable are some Coptic
textiles and some Egyptian statues created in Italy during the
Roman empire. Here are some of the highlights:
