top choice #1...vatican museum...the egyptian rooms...

founded in 1839 by Pope Gregory...the egyptian rooms houses ancient egyptian monuments and artifacts...not only are the objects themselves of interest but alaso the history behind them and how they came to be in rome, and in turn in the vatican...

of particular interest in this area were the statues of Ramses II, the mummy in its case and the bronze figurines...
