The Allard Pierson Museum is part of the University of Amsterdam complex, and displays exhibits about life in the Ancient World. A variety of different cultures are explored: the museum's Egyptian exhibits represent over 3,500 years of history; in the Middle East Room, they have assembled artefacts from several cultures in the region between Turkey and Iran. The museum's collection is based on sculptures, glassware and drinking vessels from different eras such as the Roman, Cypriot and the Greek worlds. If you want to see and experience ancient history, this is an excellent place to go!
