Quite possibly one of the most hidden Egyptology gems out there, right in your backyard . Don't miss the emergency stairwell -- some of the best stuff is hidden there!
Though some of the exhibits are badly lit, i really liked this cosy museum . The staff are friendly and knowledgeable , good to talk to.
This is such a little gem right on the territory of UCL and one of the non-mainstream museums of London. Not all exhibits might be interesting for everyone, but it's a must if you're into Egyptology .
It focuses on the smaller objects that many people might gloss over at the British Museum ! Read more
