Myers Museum is not a physical entity. Eton College possesses a considerable collection of Egyptian antiquities. Around a dozen of the 3000 or so objects are mummified human body parts. Currently the college is in the process of lending the entire collection to John Hopkins University in Baltimore (USA) and Birmingham University here in England, the loan period lasting some 15 years. These universities will catalogue, document and perhaps display the items, digitising the collection to be accessible on the internet.
