We invite you to join Christian Greco, Director of Museo Egizio, as he leads us on a virtual tour to experience one of the Museum's most notable landmarks, the Tomb of Kha. Through extraordinary artifacts, we will learn about how ancient Egyptians lived, worked, and planned for the afterlife, and, for the first time, we will witness treasures unveiled to human eyes thanks to new technologies and the application of science to the study of these findings.  

This event, organized by the Embassy of Italy in Washington DC and the Italian Cultural Institute, will be opened with remarks by the Ambassador of Italy to the United States, Armando Varricchio.

The program launches the American Friends of the Museo Egizio, which invites people in the United States to support Museo Egizio’s programs and become a partner in shaping global understanding of our shared past.
