From the outside, the museum
looks small and unprepossessing; but step inside and a visitor comes face

Two aspects make the museum a

outstanding
collection of Egyptian mummies (including many animal mummies) as well as
its exhibit on the archaeology of the Netherlands which contains a number
of bog finds (though no bog bodies). Highly
recommended!
