The Gallery of Kings, which houses large statues of pharaohs and gods, is being refurbished. The entire Museo Egizio is being transformed to celebrate its bicentenary (1824-2024).
In collaboration with the architectural firm OMA, we are working on returning the statues to their original context. The public will feel as if they are entering an ancient temple: from the long avenue of sphinxes that led to the entrance, completely bathed in sunlight, to the rooms dedicated to gods and pharaohs, which were darker and more private.
The statues will once again be the key focus of the display.
The previous display created by set designer Dante Ferretti was conceived to be temporary in 2006 and was much loved by visitors. It has been documented and is available online: discover the virtual tour HERE
