Egypt Centre |
Notes |
The museums collection was originally established as the Wellcome Museum and opened to the public in 1976. However, it appears that the museum was underutilised and had a low public profile. The museum was effectively re-founded in 1998 as the Egypt Centre with a new building and a renewed committment to outreach and access. |
