Ancient Egypt

History boring? Not in the galleries of Ancient Egypt! At the museum, theory comes to life in practice. Enthusiastic guides take you on a journey along the Nile, from Memphis to Thebes. Discover the daily life of farmers in the first agricultural states, the cities and their sanctuaries dedicated to many gods, and, not to forget, the desert with its impressive burial sites of pharaohs, high officials, and ordinary people. Uncover the secrets of mummies and coffins, grave goods, and the belief in the afterlife, as depicted on reliefs and in the Book of the Dead.

Would you like to add an Atelier+ (1st–3rd secondary)?
With your chest facing one way and your nose the other, you wouldn’t get very far… but to the Egyptians, it made perfect sense to depict people like this! Step into the shoes of an Egyptian artist and immerse yourself in a world of lines and colour codes. In the studio, we create portraits on plaster slabs, following the rules of Ancient Egyptian art.
