The Gregorian Egyptian Museum, founded by Pope Gregorio XVI in 1839 after Christ, was organised according to the indications of the Italian Egyptologist, father L.M.Ungarelli.

The works are hosted inside the palace of Innocenzo VIII in the rooms with frescoes realised by artists such as Barocci and Zuccari and with the famous terrace of the "Nicchione della Pigna". The antiquities of the ancient Egypt have been collected in the Adriana villa of Tivoli and in the other constructions of the imperial Rom as well as directly in Mesopotamia, Syria and Palestine. Of great interest are the statues of the priest Udja-Hor-res-ne, with inscriptions that look to refer to the conquest of Egypt by Cambise in 525 before Christ, the one of the Queen Tuia, mother of Ramses II, datable around the beginning of the 13th century before Christ, of the king Tolomeo Filadelfo and of Arsinoe II.
