Friends of the Museum

If you are fascinated by the culture of Ancient Egypt and want to learn more about it while supporting the work of the Museum at the same time, come join the Friends of the Egyptian Museum Munich Association (Freundeskreis des Ägyptischen Museums München e.V.)!

The Friends of the Museum Association is now over 40 years old. It provides both financial and ideological support for a variety of museum projects, including new acquisitions for the collection, object restauration, publications, cultural outreach programmes and the archaeological work of the excavation team in Naga (Sudan). The Association also provides practical assistance in the form of helping hands during big events.

Being a Friend means not only a love for Ancient Egypt, but also the opportunity to meet and get to know people with similar interests during museum events and trips. It is also a way to get to know the museum’s scientific and administrative team personally.

For one thing unites us all: a passion for Ancient Egypt.

Latest Acquisition

Since its founding, the Friends of the Museum Association has provided financial support for the acquisition of new objects for the collection. The objects funded in this manner are always destined for the permanent exhibition and their object labels always mention the Association as a donor. Over the years, the Association’s support has allowed objects from five thousand years of Egyptian history to find a permanent home in the museum, telling their own little history of Ancient Egyptian culture.

Issue 2 of our magazine MAAT has an overview of the acquisitions of the Friends of the Museum.
