It’s a small display behind the main road down by the university but we found it! It’s worth a visit despite being small and has more of a storage room vibe than the British museum… you can easily get through it in an hour or two, but if you’re into Egyptology, it’s worth the visit, and only round the corner from the British museum…

This is an utterly spellbinding museum. Try to follow one of their free tours- which gives a great understanding of how the museum is organised and points out some of their amazing treasures.There's no queues, and no noise. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful museum to visit. Staff are passionate and knowledgeable about Egyptian treasures and history of museum. Was made to feel welcome from the moment I walked in.For me it was amazing to find that all pieces came from and around Fayoum on the edge of the Western Desert. As I have visited there so many times.Although it is a small museum it holds so much interesting pieces.I would highly recommend a visit to this wonderful museum. Entrance is Free but donations are warmly welcomed

Incredible museum located at UCL just down the road from Royal Holloway, between Euston Square and Warren Street underground stations.Incredible collections of well preserved artefacts, some dating back over 6000 years.An Incredible way to spend a few hours in London for lovers of archeology and ancient Egypt.

Complete collection but maybe need more detail explanation or self guided tour with AI or AR. Overall it was great to immerse in egyptian vibes without going to egypt.

A gorgeous museum that’s more than worth the hour and a half that it takes to explore everything. The items in the collection range from the everyday (jewellery and pottery) to an beautiful collection of funereal artefacts like sarcophagi and shabtis.It’s a small space with a huge array of items, so unlike many other museums, there’s not as much in the way of explanatory notes and displays with each item - but the staff are very helpful and able to answer any questions you might have. There’s a lot of information about the formation of the collection and Amelia Edwards, who donated the first items in the collection.Would recommend to anyone but perhaps not to those with young kids, as many of the aisles are quite narrow! Has toilets and a small gift shop.

This museum has a rich and beautiful collection. Although the space is not very big, various aspects of ancient Egypt are displayed with different types of artefacts. It includes important collections such as fabrics. Well worth a look. It takes one to two hours to read the detailed description of the collection. The staff are also very friendly and photography is allowed but please do not use flash.

Nice staff and interesting objects to see. There are only 2-3 rooms to see, but the display is pretty wonderful. I really loved the deep blue faience.

Another hidden gem in London at UCL, the Petrie museum is an extensive collection of Egyptian artifacts from time periods often not displayed at other museums. Also contains items from other civilisations that influenced or were parallel to the Egyptians. Spent a couple hours here. Worth a visit.
