Egyptian Collection of the Hermitage Museum, Ancient Egyptian artifacts collection in the Winter Palace, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Egyptian Collection occupies a large hall on the ground floor of the Winter Palace, displaying over 7,500 items from ancient Egypt.
The collection originated in 1852 when the museum acquired statuettes from Countess Alexandra Lavalle, previously stored in her mansion on English Embankment.
The exhibition contains mummies, sarcophagi, ritual objects, and papyrus documents that demonstrate ancient Egyptian burial practices and religious beliefs.
The Egyptian gallery serves as a passage to the Classical Antiquities exhibition and is located directly beneath Saint George's Hall.
A fragment of the Egyptian-Hittite peace treaty tablet from Ramesses II period in the 13th century BC forms part of this collection.
