Vegetation and Rebirth in Ancient Egypt
The ancient Egyptians believed that the god Osiris had conquered death and lived on eternally as ruler of the underworld. Osiris was also regarded as a god of fertility and was therefore responsible for the vegetation of the Nile Valley.

Workshop Das Erwachen des Osiris
In this workshop, you’ll discover the mysterious Kornosiris – a special ritual object made of clay – and learn why clay, water and grain were associated with rebirth and new life by the people of that time. Afterwards, you can get creative and make your own Kornosiris to take home.
A lively mix of history, artefact appreciation and hands-on, creative work with clay.
