He first excavated at Luxor in 1861–1862 and revisited Egypt in 1867–1868, building up a collection during his travels. It is now split between different locations in Lithuania, Paris, London, Copenhagen, Berlin, Boston, Rome, and the Tyszkiewicz Palace at Lahojsk, Belarus. A small part of it remains in Poland in the National Museum in Warsaw.[1]
