Event details: Egyptian Treasures Art of the Pharaohs
Description
PREVIOUSLY HELD : 13 September 2009 - 06 December 2009
Overview
Step into another world and experience ageless Egyptian beauty. We reveal the ancient secrets of Egyptian artists through striking artefacts that include jewellery, sculpture, intricately decorated coffins, and amulets.
Explore the significance of art in Egypt by following the personal story of a young Egyptian apprentice as he learns from a master craftsman.
Uncover Egyptian trades, beliefs, deities and magic charms. See the timelessness of this art as it lies juxtaposed with modern design. Encounter rare translated hieroglyphs and see real mummies of people and animals.
Don't miss experiencing these Egyptian relics from the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, which holds one of the largest collections in the world. Many objects are from vaults and on display as a world first! Event Opening Hours
9.30am to 5pm daily (except Christmas day)
