In 2022 two very important events for Egyptology will be commemorated: the 200th anniversary of the discovery of the Rosseta stone by Jean Françoise Champollion, and with it the hieroglyphic writing, and the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun by Howard Sump.
La Fundación Sophia celebrates the Year of Egyptology with the exhibition Tesoros de Egypto, installed at the Center for Centro de Historia y Cultura Militar de Baleares de Palma. It occupies several rooms on the first floor and the basement.
With it, the aim is to bring the civilization of Ancient Egypt closer to the general public in a visual, entertaining and educational way. Through ritual, artistic and architectural elements, the exhibition presents a careful selection of the most representative scenes and works of art from Ancient Egypt to offer a vision of how the ancient Egyptians understood life and death.
All the recreations have been created by volunteers from the Department of Egyptology and the Fine Arts Workshop of the Fundación Sophia de Palma.
During the duration of the exhibition there will be several guided tours by the curator, on October 31, November 7 and December 5, 12 and 19, 2022 at 6:00 p.m. Prior registration is required at: CentroSophia.
