Egypt
Exhibition: Egypte Quotidienne
Bibliothèque Municipale du Trocadéro
Thanks to Jean-Louis Pagès for letting me know that an exhibition for children is to be held in Paris, France from the 15th of September to the 18th of October. It will be held in a small public library, the Bibliothèque Municipale du Trocadéro.
The aim of the exhibition will be to depict everyday Egyptian life as it is lived today ("Egypte quotidienne") for kids visiting public french libraries, to give them the taste of what Egypt is like and to enable them to discover more about it.
