Zbyněk Žába a Národní muzeum

Zbyněk Žába largely contributed to the popularization of history and culture of ancient Egypt in Czechoslovakia through his frequent cooperation with the National Museum. He helped to organize a number of exhibitions. He determined and published several objects from the museum’s collections in catalogues, as well as scholarly and popular journals. The National Museum also received a share of finds from the excavations of the Czechoslovak Institute of Egyptology in Abusir and Nubia directed by Zbyněk Žába. After Žába’s death, his private collection of Egyptian antiquities was sold to the museum.
