About the Exhibition
This exhibition explores the art and culture of ancient Egypt across more than 3,000 years. It shows how the ancient Egyptians understood life and death and how their beliefs and art took shape. No specific artists are named, but the exhibition presents a range of sculptures, paintings, and documents related to Egyptian mythology, superstition, and ritual. It comprises around 150 works, organized into sections by theme — life and death, gods and humans, the journey of the soul. Visitors can experience the spiritual world of ancient Egypt through works including funerary figures, cosmetic eye makeup, and tomb sculpture made for eternal life.
