It is not a small museum - its collection of Egyptian, Etruscan, and Greek and Rome antiquities is superb and wonderfully presented on its three floors. The only drawback is that the signage is mostly in Dutch, but the English audio guide is available. The ticket costs 14 Euros.

This museum has a large collection of ancient Egyptian (supported by Greek and Roman) artefacts. One of the 4 places in the world to see a saved Nubian temple - it's the Temple of Taffeh here - enclosed in the entrance hall. The museum has plenty of audio guides and lockers (all free) and is much quieter than the packed museums 35 minutes by train in Amsterdam. Over 3 floors, the museum has exhibits specific to the Netherlands (including a wonderful exhibit tracing human habitation in the area) and many to interest the international visitor.

Nothing short of superb. The museum has an amazing collection of Greek and Roman artifacts, and the section on Roman items found in what is now the Netherlands is fascinating and informative. Our visit started with the temple from Egypt sitting in the lobby(yes, that's right) which comes with its own light and sound show. If you are in Leiden, definitely go. And if you're visiting Amsterdam, it's just a short train ride away. This is a thoughtful and accessible museum; a real gem.

Great museum. Has Dutch history as well as collections of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artifacts collected over the years. In the lobby is an Egyptian temple (built by Romans), which Egypt donated as thanks for help relocating items Minimum 3 hours to appreciate all 3 floors

Enjoyed the Roman & Egyptian artefacts. As an English speaker, I needed a talky device, which I don't really like that much, but it gave enough info to understand the main displays. There is a lot to see, and after a few hours I stopped taking in information! This didn't dampen my interest, and I wandered around marvelling at the condition of each item, their age and splendour.
