At the museum, visitors can browse the three main exhibition areas hosting the permanent and temporary exhibits that bring ancient Egypt to life. View items that include mummies, sarcophagi, jewelry, ceramics, and items related to funerary practices. There are also three training rooms, a library containing more than 10,000 documents, and an off-site archeology training center.
