Also see the Egyptology Overview for specialist detail about the history and make up of the Museum Collections.

Because of its links with the cotton trade, Bolton's Museums have always had strong Egyptology collections.  The current collection houses many objects spanning thousands of years of Egyptian culture, ranging from jewellery and everyday items right up to mummies and granite columns from ancient temples.
