No mummies, but a beautiful collection of Egyptian objects:

"Although comprising only 38 artifacts, the NCMA's ancient Egyptian art collection represents the major periods of ancient Egyptian history, from the Predynastic (Nagada I, circa 4000–3500 B.C.E.) to the Roman (30 B.C.E.–642 C.E.) periods. The Museum’s oldest artifact is a black-topped ceramic jar that was handmade approximately 6,000 years ago. It probably served as food storage in a house or perhaps even a tomb, so that its owner would have food for the afterlife."
