Baltimore, MD, Johns Hopkins University
The museum at Johns Hopkins was established in 1882 with the intention of using ancient objects in teaching Greece, Rome, and the Near East. In 1884, a collection of Egyptian objects was donated by a local collector, Colonel Mendes Israel Cohen. A large number of objects from the Egypt Exploration Funds excavations from 1905-18 were acquired on behalf of the Museum by James Teackle Dennis, a Baltimore native who volunteered on Naville's Egypt Exploration Fund excavations at Deir el Bahri.
