From Hetepheres tFrom Hetepheres to Tutankhamun: Unveiling 4.600 Years of Royal Treasures at the Grand Egyptian Museumo Tutankhamun: 4,600 years of royal treasures unveiled at the Grand Egyptian Museum

The museum combines modern architecture with innovative exhibition technology and a research and restoration centre. Visitors are given a comprehensive insight into Egyptian history – from the earliest civilisations through to the Greco-Roman period. In this four-part lecture series, Egyptologists present their favourite objects from the GEM’s newly opened galleries.

The series is aimed at a wide audience and offers a 45-minute journey through spectacular, extraordinary and previously unseen artefacts at each session.

This will be followed by an open question-and-answer session, during which participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the objects that particularly interest them.

The series is a collaboration between the Egyptian Museum and the Papyrus Collection in Berlin and the Egyptian Cultural Office at the Egyptian Embassy in Berlin. The event will take place in the auditorium of the James-Simon-Galerie.
