Caboodle, Hungary

The last golden age of Egyptian pharaohs will be presented at an exhibition in Budapest's Museum of Fine Arts entitled Renaissance in Pharaonic Egypt between August 8 and November 9, the museum's director said on Thursday.

The exhibition will feature 150 objects, including the 4,500-year-old Palermo Stone, a life-size statue of Ramses II and a mummy from the Roman age. The exhibition was shown in Ljubljana in the first half of the year and has been expanded for display in Budapest.

"Two-thirds of the 150 objects on display arrived from abroad, including such world-famous museums as the Louvre in Paris, the British Museum in London, the Kunsthistorische Museum in Vienna and collections in Florence, Rome and Zagreb, with the remaining 50 works on loan by Hungarian institutions," Laszlo Baan said.
