About Egypt Centre

The Egypt Centre is the largest collection of Egyptian Antiquities in Wales and is open to all Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 4pm.

Hands-on activities are available as well as an exciting display of Egyptian artefacts including weapons, jewellery, coffins and much more. We have an innovative schools' programme which reaches most parts of the national curriculum!

There are over 5000 items in the collection. Most of them were collected by the pharmacist Sir Henry Wellcome. Others came to us from: the British Museum; the Royal Edinburgh Museum; National Museums and Galleries of Wales Cardiff; the Royal Albert Museum and Art Gallery, Woking College and also private donors.

Sir Henry Wellcome collected items from excavations. Included in the Egypt Centre collection are items from Armant, Amarna, Deir el-Medina, Esna, Mostagedda, Qau, etc. Additionally he collected items from individuals. These included Robert de Rustafjaell, Gayner-Anderson, Berens and MacGregor.
