Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, National antiquities museum in Leiden, Netherlands
The museum holds over 1,400 Egyptian artifacts, including colorful sarcophagi, mummies, and statues arranged across multiple exhibition halls on the ground floor.
William I of the Netherlands established the National Museum of Antiquities in 1818, appointing professor C.J.C. Reuvens as its first director.
The central hall features an ancient Egyptian temple from Taffeh, gifted by the Egyptian government as a token of gratitude to the Netherlands.
Located along Rapenburg canal, the museum welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 to 17:00 and provides complete wheelchair accessibility throughout its exhibitions.
The museum houses a double statue of Maya and Merit from the 14th century BCE, representing one of the finest examples of Egyptian sculptural art.
