Egyptian Collection Highlights
The Museum's collection is one of the most important in the world, excelling in both depth and breadth. Much of the collection derives from excavations conducted by Dr. George A. Reisner, from 1905-1942, on behalf of the Museum and Harvard University. Many exceptional works of art came to Boston through formal agreements with the Egyptian government. Gifts, purchases, and exchanges have enriched the collection.
