EGYPTIAN MUSEUM

Description of the Museum: The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum has many examples of cat images from ancient Egypt, in every material from bronze, through wood, and including mummies!

Cats were first domesticated in ancient Egypt. This means that all cats were wild until the Egyptians began sharing their homes with them. This happened over 6,000 years ago! All of our cats today are descended from Egyptian wild cats.
