Verein zur Förderung des Ägyptischen Museums e.V.

The Egyptian Gallery in the Archaeological Museum was established thanks to the cooperation with the Egyptian Museum and the Collection of Papyri in Berlin and the State Museum of Egyptian Art in Munich . Creation of such a permanent exhibition was the idea of the late Prof. Lech Krzyzaniak and his wife Dr. Karla Kroeper. Their friendship with the directors of the German museums - Prof. Dietrich Wildung and Dr. Sylvia Schoske, consolidated during joint archaeological research in Egypt and the Sudan, resulted in a long-term loan of the objects displayed under the title 'Death and Life in Ancient Egypt'. The exhibition, continued since 1998, and supplemented in 2002 with the obelisk of Ramesses II, contains artefacts from all periods of the ancient Egyptian history, presenting various aspects of this unique culture.
