The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology is one of the lesser-known museums of ancient Egyptian archaeology in London. The venue is not very large, but it is packed with a lot of fascinating artifacts. Tickets are free and opening hours are limited, so before traveling Please check it on the website.
The original intention of the museum was only to serve as a teaching resource for the Egyptian Archaeology and Documents Department of University College London. It did not expect to gradually develop into such a large scale that it attracts many tourists every year. Many of the collections here wear the title of "first", including a piece of early linen from Egypt that originated about 5000 BC, two stone lions from 3000 BC, and 2900 BC The fragments on the calendar come from the earliest metal products in Egypt-finished iron beads, the earliest glass, the Egyptian "sealed cylinder" from 3500 BC, the oldest testament on papyrus, the oldest gynecological papyrus, from ancient times Egypt’s only veterinary papyrus is derived from the architectural drawings of the largest shrine in 1300 BC.
There are a lot of things in the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology. I am amazed at how many Egyptian treasures are in it. I also sigh that the richness of ancient Egypt has been plundered into the hands of these empires. People who are interested in Egyptian antiquities recommend it.
The Petrie Egyptian Archaeological Museum is very small, about 5 minutes away from the Grant Eco Museum. A small space is full of handicrafts. Not all labels are clear. Most of the so-called Egyptian artifacts are fakes, and mummies are very skilled.
The museum is small, with only 2 exhibition halls, mainly for displaying Egyptian antiques. Numerous collections bear the title of "first", including a piece of early linen from Egypt, dating from about 5000 BC, and two stone lions dating from 3000 BC.
