Roman museum conserving objects bought by the Pontiffs in the 17th and 18th centuries in Egypt.

Pope Gregory XVI inaugurated this museum in 1839. Its designer was Father Ungarelli, a renowned Egyptologist, who grouped together in the rooms the objects purchased by the pontiffs in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, in Egypt, but also during Roman excavations. Many of the works in the Egyptian Museum come from the Temple of Isis, which stood on the Champ-de-Mars. In addition to statues of pharaohs, there is a statue of the mother of Ramses II and a copy of the Rosetta Stone made for Father Ungarelli, one of Champollion's first correspondents.
