The German city Stutgart will play host Friday to an Egyptian exhibition displaying Pharaonic mummies. German newspapers have highlighted the fair, which will be opened by senior German officials and Egyptian Ambassador to Germany Mohamed el-Orabi. The media called the exhibition as the most important cultural event in the city in 2007. The exhibition, which will run till March 24, will display 350 mummies, including those of birds, crocodiles and cats.
Meanwhile, France will host on Thursday an Egyptian exhibition titled "The Individual Pharaoh." The fair will display 248 artifacts from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and the Louvre.
I was surprised to see an exhibtion from Egypt going to Germany, because the last I had heard, one of the outcomes of the argument about whether or not the Berlin Nefertiti bust should to to Egypt had resulted in Hawass denying Germany any exhibits from Egypt. Celarly matters have moved on since then.
