No need to travel 7,600 miles to see Egyptian antiquities. One of the finest collections in the Western United States is in San Bernardino.

The Robert V. Fullerton Museum at Cal State San Bernardino has added 75 objects from the Schwennesen Collection, which had been at the Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology in Claremont. The Cal State museum now has about 500 items . . . .

The collection stretches back about 5,000 years and ranges from the Predynastic to the Greco-Roman periods. Among the new acquisitions on display is a fish pendant, a musical instrument, and a mummified falcon or hawk about 2,500 years old that represents the god Horus. Other items must be restored before display.


See the above page for the full story, which is is accompanied by a photograph of a mummy from the collection.
