Expedition Egypt narrates the story of two centuries of fascinating archaeological discoveries in the Land of the Pharaohs. The book brings together more than two hundred objects from its eminent Egyptian collection. Highlights include the sumptuously decorated coffins from the priestly cache of Deir el-Bahari.
In addition, a wide variety of stunning pieces from the collection will be shown to the public for the very first time. Objects like funerary stelae, canopic vases for the entrails of the deceased, and shabti figurines meant to accompany the dead in the afterlife, will introduce the visitors to the Egyptian world of the gods and eternal life.
L'exposition 'Expéditions d'Égypte' racontera l'histoire de deux siècles de découvertes archéologiques fascinantes au Pays des Pharaons et de la formation de la collection égyptienne du Musée.
Au 19e siècle, les milieux diplomatiques et industriels belges s'intéressent vivement au passé de l'Égypte, qui occupe alors une place importante dans la politique internationale et l'économie mondiale. Les premiers objets égyptiens de la collection étaient principalement des dons royaux et privés. Dans les premières décennies du 20e siècle, l'ambitieux et flamboyant égyptologue Jean Capart joua un rôle inestimable dans le développement de la collection et de la recherche scientifique.
