Nice museum, very friendly and helpful staff, great collection. Tip if you are in town and need a breather: You can have coffee next to a real Egyptian temple here (without entering the museum part of the building). The Temple of Taffeh was moved to Leiden when Egypt planned to build a dam in the Nile that would flood it. Worth a visit!

I thought everyone who worked there was lovely! The gift shop was also very nice. I would have liked more English books but can not complain. But the children’s tour in English was just awful. And surprisingly it cost money. I have never been to a Dutch museum that did not excel at making my children love learning. This museum stands in shark contrast. My children were very bored. The tour was hard to understand. It did not really excite and would many times just leave you looking for an unnumbered display case. I spent a lot of time just searching. It was really not fun. Huge disappointment.

Impressive collection. A must for everyone interested in history. My pictures are taken in 2015.

Having used to go to prominent museums in other countries I was underwhelmed with the size of the museum and its collections. As other reviewers mentioned the English descriptions are lacking. Nevertheless we went with toddlers and they were enjoying very much the temporary exhibition: the search for tutankhamun! They could see the mummies too which was the main point of our visit, but it seems they were more impressed with the experience of crawling to a hidden chamber of tutankhamun. So that's a win! (Everything is in Dutch though)

Amazing exhibits! The Egyptian items are amazing, as well as the Roman items.
