The "Special Exhibition of Ancient Egypt from the Brooklyn Museum" will commence on the 20th at the Abeno Harukas Art Museum in Osaka, featuring a collection that brings together about 150 significant artifacts from ancient Egyptian civilization. These items include sculptures, jewelry, and reliefs, such as the "Cartonnage of the Priest Hor" dating back to around 760-558 BC. The exhibition aims to unravel the mysteries of 3,000 years of ancient Egyptian civilization and offer insights into the lives of its people.
The screening of the exhibition will also incorporate the latest studies related to the pyramids and will present visual content using 3D data, thus providing a modern perspective on ancient history.
