Queens of Egypt tells the story of the wives of the pharaohs under the New Kingdom (1500 - 1070 BC).

In this period queens such as Ahmose Nefertari, Hatshepsut, Tiye, Nefertiti and Nefertari were influential women and much more than the wives of rulers. They also administered the pharaoh’s palace and exercised significant political power.

The exhibition brings to life the riches offered to the royal women, it reveals the intrigues they were involved in and recounts the honors paid to them.

Its highlight is the series of works that come from the tomb of Queen Nefertari, one of the greatest pictorial expressions of Ancient Egypt.
