Summary/Abstract: The article brings basic information on the Egyptology collections that were for many years associated with the museums in Olomouc. The author tries to outline their history both in Olomouc and after their removal to the National Museum in Prague – Náprstek’s Museum of Asian, African and American cultures. He also depicts exhibitions with ancient Egyptian topics organised after 1948. He puts these exhibition projects into broader historical context and reminds the share of the Olomouc Egyptology collections in organising them.
