How can I find out which museum holds the Akhenaten artefacts? I assume they are in the one with Nefertiti bust but there isn't much info on the artefacts. The museums have gone through so many moves and name changes it has been a challenge?

Thank you for your question - I have no idea to be honest. I can add it to the next week's newsletter if you want?

Hello Alannah,

yes, the Artefacts of Akhenaten (German spelling: Echnaton) are in the "Ägyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung" located in the Neues Museum on Museumsinsel. The tricky thing is that the Museum as the collection of artefacts and the Museum as a building both have different names that both contain the word "Museum".

Happy to help you untangle the two, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!

Thank you so much for your explanation. They should all use this description as it would be very helpful! I was planning on stopping to see these artefacts during a layover to Hurghada Egypt around October. It would be comforting if I am going alone to have a contact. Thank you for this.
