Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the Egyptian Section of the Museum of Crema (Italy). The first core of the collection comes from that of the late Carla Maria Burri (1935–2009), who worked in Egypt between the 1960s and 2000s. Moreover, the donation to the Museum of Crema of another private collection has been formalized at the beginning of 2020. The highlights from both collections are here discussed and presented together with the latest additions to the Egyptian Section, consisting of some antiquities from the collection of the late Professor Giampiero Guerreschi.
