Egypt - Land of Immortality
The exhibition “Egypt: Land of Immortality” opens the doors to the fascinating world of advanced civilization on the Nile. The exhibits, which are up to 6,000 years old, are the centrepiece of a show that with impressive installations and theme worlds grants a cultural-historical overview of everyday life in the land of the Pharaohs and of their very particular ideas of the Beyond. With valuable originals, the exhibition portrays life on the fertile banks of the Nile in all important epochs of Ancient Egypt: from the beginnings to the 4th century BCE up to the Coptic era in the 6th and 7th centuries CE. A varied supporting programme with hands-on exhibits rounds out the exhibition and makes it an unforgettable experience, especially for children, families and school groups.
