Local gallery named in top 10 for exhibition


The West Australian

The Art Gallery of Western Australia’s Egyptian exhibit has been named in the top 10 antiquities exhibitions in the world by the prestigious arts journal, The Art Newspaper.

Culture and Arts Minister Sheila McHale said it was a great achievement which lifted the profile of the Art Gallery of WA and placed it on the world stage.

“The exhibition was an amazing collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities and for it to be recognised in the top 10 internationally by such a reputable arts journal is a great reward for the gallery,” Ms McHale said.

“(The) Egyptian Antiquities from the Louvre: Journey to the Afterlife exhibition attracted an average daily attendance of 1381 people over the 100 days it was on display, indicating the great public interest and demand for exhibitions of this calibre in WA.”
