For those of you who have been to the big Museums, the Met, Cairo, Berlin, London, Brooklyn and understand their pull in getting quality pieces, this little museum really does have some unusual quality pieces for a private collection. The Ramses II Statue is quite unique in that we are not aware of seeing one in which he has a... More

It is not the biggest nor the best Egyptian Museum in the world, I know, but if you are lucky and you can follow one of the guided tours, this is a good experience (and it's a very interesting place for kids) More

The Clos Archaeological Foundation is the owner of the museum and this was founded in 1993 by Jordi Clos, who was passionate about Egyptian art... More

The museum itself is really small. There are two floors, plus a temporary exhibition in the basement. We paid €11 per person, and €8 for me with my student card. The museum doesn't have a bar, nor a cloakroom or even lockers! The mummies are nice, but it's not worth the money. More
