Egyptian Museum: Funerary Room

This Egyptian Museum room focuses on objects connected with burial. It is a good first stop if you want to understand Egyptian funerary customs before seeing the collection’s Roman and Near Eastern sections.

Egyptian Museum: Funerary Room

Why go

The second room gathers material made for death and the afterlife, giving the objects a common purpose that is easy to follow. Its focus helps separate pharaonic funerary practice from later displays about Egyptian forms in Rome. That distinction makes the museum’s broader story clearer as you move between rooms.

What to look for

  • Polychrome wooden sarcophagi occupy the central display case.
  • Two mummies are displayed in the room.
  • A Fayum portrait depicts a young man’s face.

Useful to know

  • Visit before the Egypt-and-Rome section to keep the two themes clear.
