The State Collection of Egyptian Art in Munich is housed on the ground floor of the Residenz, on either side of the passage leading to the Kaiserhof. One of the oldest museums of its kind, it grew out of the collections assembled by Duke Albrecht V and King Ludwig I. During the 20th C. it acquired much additional material from donations. The present museum also contains the Egyptian antiquities formerly held by the Glyptothek.
