New Gallery Dedicated to Queen Nefertari
The funerary collection of Queen Nefertari returns to Museo Egizio on August 9th after being displayed in various museums around the world.
120 years after the discovery of Nefertari's tomb in the Valley of the Queens, which took place in 1904 by Ernesto Schiaparelli, then director of the Egyptian Museum, the collection will be displayed in early 20th-century showcases commissioned by Schiaparelli.
The reinstallation of the objects will be complemented by textual panels, a video narrative, and archival drawings and photographs to recreate the context of the artifacts from the Valley of the Queens.
