The Nile: Egypt and Nubia

Guidebook. Egypt and Nubia

The ancient cultures that emerged on the banks of the River Nile are basically represented by the collections that were formed as a result of research in the field conducted by museum technicians over the last 50 years. The exhibition comprises three broad sections: society, which examines the daily life of the Nile’s inhabitants and the figure of the pharaoh; the Egyptian pantheon, featuring the numerous deities and religious practices; and death and its associated rituals.
