Situado en un edificio perteneciente al University College de Londres, nos encontramos con este entrañable museo, el Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology.

Sennedjem no te pierdas una visita al museo Petrie , es algo increible... está abarrotado de objetos en estanterias desde el suelo al techo, por lo que es bastante dificicil el poder apreciar bien todo lo situado en las estanterias superiores... además la luz es tan tenue que a veces las fotos no salen bien ...pero recorrer el mueseo es disfrutar . Tienen planeado tener el nuevo museo en 2011 pero mientras tanto hay que visitar el que tenemos
De la Tumba de Inty, su calavera está catalogada como UC 31176
El museo Petrie está en un primer piso, la sala es enorme y a la izquierda de la misma hay unas escaleras que conducen a la planta baja, a´´i hay muchisimos objetos, sobre todo cerámica predinástica , vestidos, los objetos de Amarna de las fotos que ha colgado serezhade...y una pequeñísima librería donde venden unos cuántos libros.
A la derecha de la sala hay una escalera estrecha, pero que tiene en los laterales vitrinas en las que expone objetos, no hay mucha luz, como en bastantes partes del museo, y los escalones crujen ..... y debe de ser una escalera de incendio que está cerrada.
Uno de los objetos expuestos es este busto de Amelia B. Edwards, que todos conocereis por su famoso libro. El museo Petrie le debe mucho a esta mujer ya que ella donó su colección de objetos

The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology
Introduction
The Petrie Museum houses an estimated 80,000 objects, making it one of the greatest collections of Egyptian and Sudanese archaeology in the world. It illustrates life in the Nile Valley from prehistory through the time of the pharaohs, the Ptolemaic, Roman and Coptic periods to the Islamic period.
The museum's 'firsts'
The collection is full of 'firsts': One of the earliest pieces of linen from Egypt (about 5000 BC); two lions from the temple of Min at Koptos, from the first group of monumental sculpture (about 3000 BC); a fragment from the first kinglist or calendar (about 2900 BC); the earliest example of metal from Egypt, the first worked iron beads, the earliest example of glazing, the earliest 'cylinder seal' in Egypt (about 3500 BC); the oldest wills on papyrus paper, the oldest gynaecological papyrus; the only veterinary papyrus from ancient Egypt, and the largest architectural drawing, showing a shrine (about 1300 BC).
Costume is another strength of the collection. In addition to the 'oldest dress' there is a unique beadnet dress of a dancer from the Pyramid Age, about 2400 BC, two long sleeved robes of the same date; a suit of armour from the palace of Memphis (awaiting reconstruction), as well as socks and sandals from the Roman period.
Highlights
The collection contains outstanding works of art from Akhenaten’s city at Amarna: colourful tiles, carvings and frescoes, and from many other important Egyptian and Nubian settlements and burial sites. The museum houses the world’s largest collection of Roman period mummy portraits (first to second centuries AD).
More than these highlights, though, the collection is uniquely important because so much of it comes from documented excavations. The large typological series of objects (amulets, faience, objects of daily use, tools and weapons, weights and measures, stone vessels, jewellery) provide a unique insight into how people have lived and died in the Nile Valley.
