Crocodile Museum
Explore the Crocodile Museum in Aswan, Egypt, home to ancient artifacts and fascinating insights into crocodile worship.
Historical Overview
The Crocodile Museum at Kom Ombo is a modern museum devoted to the cult of Sobek and the crocodile in ancient Egypt. Its displays include crocodile mummies and related archaeological material from the Kom Ombo area. The museum itself is modern; the mummies and religious traditions it interprets are ancient, so its institutional date should not be confused with the chronology of the artifacts.
