A guide to the Egyptian galleries

 


This Guide contains descriptions of the Egyptian Sculptures and other Egyptian Antiquities which are exhibited on the Ground Floor, in a series of Galleries extending from north to south on the west side of the British Museum. The arrangement is, as far as possible, chronological. 


The monuments of the Ancient Empire are placed chiefly in the Vestibule; those of the Middle Empire will be found in the Northern Gallery and Central Saloon; and in the Southern Gallery are the Antiquities of the New Empire, and of the Saite, Ptolemaic, Roman and Christian Periods. 

For the convenience of reference, the monuments have been renumbered consecutively with numbers painted in the top centre of the plinths and frames. The old numbers are in the left-hand lower corners. Indexes to the two sets of numbers will be found on pp. 307 ff.
