Artefacts come from excavations at Amarna, Armant, Mostagedda, Esna, etc. There are also artefacts donated by private individuals, from the British Museum, the Royal Edinburgh Museum, National Museums and Galleries of Wales Cardiff and the Royal Albert Museum and Art Gallery.

Most of the objects are from ancient Egypt but there is also a significant collection of other items including pottery from ancient Greece and Rome and coins.

The Egyptian material largely covers the period c.100,000 B.C. - A.D. 500 in two galleries and includes jewellery dating from the time of Tutankhamun, weapons, and a mummified crocodile.
