The Allard Pierson Museum is the archaeological museum of the University of Amsterdam. Ancient Egyptian civilisations, the Near East, the Greek world, Etruria and the Roman Empire are all brought to life in this museum. Art objects and utensils dating from 4000 B.C. to 500 A.D. give a good impression of everyday life, mythology and religion in the Age of Antiquity. There are also several scale models of ancient temples and buildings. In the ancient Egypt department there is a room dedicated to death with mummies, sarcophagi and a film showing the process of mummification. The plaster-cast-attic, accessible only by guided tour, shows replicas of world-famous Roman and Greek statues. Two or three temporary exhibitions are organised each year.
