Exhibition: Victor Loret in Egypt (1881-1899).
Egittologia - Archaeogate
This exhibition is the product of a strict cooperation between the Supreme Council of Antiquities – Cairo Egyptian Museum and the Chair of Egyptology of the University of Milan, sponsored by PIRELLI – Alexandria Tire CO. S.A.E. and organized with the help of the non-profit Association Per-megiat per la protezione e la valorizzazione di Archivi e Biblioteche di Egittologia (Milan).
In room 44 of the Cairo Egyptian Museum will be exhibited around 50 documents belonging to the archaeologist Victor Loret (1859-1946) kept in the Egyptological Archives of the University of Milan, and around 20 important objects kept in the Cairo Egyptian Museum, found by Loret during his excavations in Saqqara and in the Valley of the Kings.
For the first time, the excavation journals, photographs, sketches, maps, and notes of Loret will be put in parallel with the objects that he discovered at the end of the XIX century, bringing back the visitors to that time and putting them in front of the exceptional discoveries of the archaeologist, among which the tomb of the Pharaoh Thutmose III and that of the Pharaoh Amenhotep II, known as the "second royal cache".
See the above page for further details of how the exhibition is being organized.
