Description: | Marischal Museum's collection of European and Mediterranean Archaeology contains internationally significant collections, particularly from Egypt. The University contributed funds to a number of excavations, resulting in donations from the Egyptian Exploration Fund and the British School of Archaeology in Egypt. The most prolific donor to the collections was Dr Robert Wilson. During the early 19th century, Wilson collected artefacts from across Italy, Greece, Egypt and Mesopotamia. These artefacts can be seen in the context of the rest of Wilson's extensive collection held at the Museum along with many archives of his explorations.
