Over the last years, much Egyptological research has been conducted in Croatia across various different fields. The Croato- Aegyptica Electronica (CAE) project has been in progress and, at several museums across the country, ancient Egyptian artefacts have been analysed and new exhibitions created. At the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb, a radiological study of Egyptian mummies has been conducted and open lectures with a variety of keynote speakers, as well as a workshop on the language of Middle Egypt, have been held. Finally, university curriculums have changed, new publications (articles, catalogues and books) have appeared and international conferences have taken place. In this paper, the authors aim to provide an overview of the Egyptological activity which has occurred in Croatia over the past decade.
