( Worth Seeing )
Amsterdam University houses its archaeological collection in a neo-classical former bank. There are few outstanding objects, but rather bits and pieces from here and there - coins, funerary monuments, mummies, glassware, jewellery, marble, pottery, sculpture and everyday objects. Pharaonic Egypt, Minoan Crete, ancient Greece, Rome and Etruria are reasonably well represented, and there are some good models of pyramids and chariots. Temporary exhibitions are generally more interesting.
