Roemer and Pelizaeus Museum

What an amazing collection of Egyptian artifacts. I had a great time there. The lighting and building helps you get the most out of the exhibition. It’s so diverse and I am happy I was there before they undergo the modifications which will result in it being closed for 6 months the Egyptian section.

Beautiful collection nicely presented in a modern building. Far better than what you may expect in a small city, certainly worth the visit. 4 stars in place of 5 due to the lack of English explanations. How about considering QR codes? We all have phones.

Very large Egyptian collection. Well explained in time scale from 4000 bc to 1000 ac. Beautifully displayed. Many statues, reliefs, some stone structures even. Many artifacts, large and miniscule: from pottery to jewelry. Mummies and sarcophagi. Some of the many captions are lacking constrast, making them hard to read.

Good, fun experience, tour guide knew her knowledge, mobile lightweight chairs are supplied on hand when you get tired, half the building is cooled and the other is not, can get a bit hot while walking up and down the stairs. Only very small bags are allowed with you on the tour otherwise you have to lock up larger bags in the lockers supplied by the staff. Enough bathrooms. There is a shop inside the building. Overall interesting experience and reasonably cheap entry fee.

I am completely in love with the Egyptian collection, especially with the mummy of an huge crocodile. But for this visit, my main focus was on the plagues and epidemic exhibition. Sadly, it was not allowed to take photos of the walk-in-HIVirus and other exhibits in the part of the exhibition located on the second floor. Btw, there a some elevators in the house, but I am not 100% sure that everything is easily reachable with wheelchairs. Please inform yourself before going there. The people at the desk were kind and helpful. Even when not into museums, check their staircase from the lobby without paying the entry fee. It's amazing!
