Come to our museum and you will find it!

Hrdlicka Museum of Man is a small university museum and a part of the Faculty of Science Charles University in Prague. We are a traditional institution with a history going back to 1937 and a cultural place with a unique character. Museum has a specific atmosphere which resembles a cabinet of curiosities that brings you back into the past. We aim to provide a place where the public, students and scientists can meet and present socially important aspects and problems of scientific research. The permanent exhibition introduces human evolution, development of a human being, pathology, death and human diversity and variability.
In the smaller of the two exhibition rooms you can find three mummies from Deir el-Medina (the village close to the famous Valley of the Kings were lived the craftsmen working on the royal necropolis) and a number of isolated parts of the mummified (mostly human and one animal) bodies. The collection of the Hrdlicka Museum of Man is the second biggest collection of Ancient Egyptian mummies in the Czech Republic.
The remarkable history of the acquisition and research of Ancient Egyptian mummies in our museum will be introduced by our Egyptologist and lecturer Julie Tomsova. She will present the museum collection and also provide an introduction to Ancient Egyptian funeral rituals that were so important for Egyptians since they believed that the human body after death must stay preserved and intact to be able to join the afterlife.
