Leiden: RMO - Documentary Photography
The National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden, founded in 1818. In addition to numerous impressive collections, the Egyptian collection is one of the largest and most complete collections of Ancient Egyptian art in the world.

The basis for the current Egypt collection of the National Museum of Antiquities was created in 1827 by the Dutch naval officer J.H. van der Werff from Leiden collected during his trip to Egypt. This included mummies, sarcophagi, statues, and utensils. After arriving in Hellevoetsluis it was transported to Leiden on December 1, 1828. The transfer of the collection to Leiden was an important event for Dutch Egyptology. It was also the first time that an extensive collection of Egyptian artefacts was exhibited in the Netherlands, where it can still be seen today.
