Abstract
Egyptological collection of Hrdlicka's Museum of Man, part of the Faculty of Science at Charles University in Prague, contains in addition to some ancient Egyptian artefacts mainly anthropological material, skeletal and mummified human remains. The anthropological material comes from ancient Egyptian sites - Deir el Medineh, el-Lisht, Kharga and Bahariya Oasis - and it is dated from the Middle Kingdom to the Roman Period.
The article discusses the foundation of the Hrdlicka's Museum of Man and provides an overview of creating Egyptological collections. Both mentioned topics are inseparably linked with the names of the two world famous anthropologists of Czech origin - Aleš Hrdlicka and Jindrich Matiegka.
The article also provides an overview of all researches and publications of the university collection.
