About

The archaeological museum of the University of Amsterdam, this treasure trove showcases ancient Egyptian mummies, Greek vases, and Roman statues, including a 2,500-year-old Egyptian temple gate. Named after a classical scholar, it also explores Dutch archaeological finds, like prehistoric bog bodies. The interactive exhibits let visitors "excavate" artifacts. Housed in a former bank, its grand hall mimics an ancient temple, complete with towering columns.
