No open catalogue API and no open-licence image programme, so this is a link-only institution: the records come from the open catalogues and Wikidata.

54 records are held for this collection and 24 are listed here — the ones its own records tie to something biblical, audited first. The rest are in the research corpus, not on this page.

What it supports. Merneptah's victory inscription attests a group called Israel in the late-thirteenth-century southern Levant.

What it does not. It does not describe the Exodus. Museum overview checked; original report located but protected host prevented direct plate verification.
