The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford has a rather fine collection of Amarna artefacts. Most of them are fragments, and incomplete, but they are all lovely - a testimony to the artists and craftsmen who designed and produced them. If you live in (or are visiting) the UK and are thinking of visiting the museum do be sure to phone first on +44(0)1865 288016 - they are undergoing a major re-fit and galleries are often closed.
