State Collection of Egyptian Art Description

(Local Name: Staatliche Sammlung ãgyptischer Kunst) 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.

The collection covers the whole range of ancient Egyptian history - the Pre-dynastic period (4500-3000 B.C.), the Period of Unification (about 3000 B.C.), the Old Kingdom (fifth and sixth Dynasties, 2660-2160 B.C.), Middle Kingdom
