Barcelona Egyptian Museum

Barcelona’s Egyptian Museum, run by the archaeological foundation Clos, is one of the leading Egyptian museums, and since it opened in 1984 it hasn’t stopped growing, both in its importance and in the number of items on display. In order to support this growth, various complementary activities are organised, all with the aim of introducing people to the Egyptian culture and history, in the most engaging way.

Information about the Barcelona Egyptian Museum

The museum has three floors, throughout which you’ll find the permanent collection, the various temporary exhibitions (on the lower level), the dedicated learning area and the library. There’s also a shop by the entrance, in which you can purchase books, papyrus paper and reproductions of objects from ancient Egypt.

Permanent collection of the museum

A clear sign of the evolution and improvement of the museum’s permanent collection can be seen in the fact that the number of objects on display has increased from 300 to its current collection of approximately 1000. The exhibition of these objects, and a series of informative displays throughout the visit will allow you to immerse yourself in the history of Ancient Egypt and find out what daily life was like at the time.

Temporary exhibitions

To complement its wonderful permanent collection, thanks to collaborations with some of the world’s most prestigious institutions and Egyptian museums, Barcelona’s Egyptian Museum offers its visitors some of the best temporary exhibitions about Ancient Egypt in the world.

Activities and guided tours

One of the benefits of the museum is the fact that you can take part in a guided tour, led by an expert in Egyptology, and this will make it even easier to find out about the traditions and culture of the time, as well as ensuring that you won’t miss any of the key exhibits.
