Floor plan Papyri Egyptian Museum in Cairo (EMC)

The purpose of this page is to help visitors to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo easily look up information about papyri they are viewing. With the exception of some small papyri in room 29, all papyri on display in the museum are recorded here (period 2021-2023). In 2024 in room 1, two BeG-papyri have been re-hung and added to the database on this site. One BeG papyrus was removed from room 1
