Here we have reproductions of crown headdresses of three iconic Egyptian queens.
I wanted some final shots before I departed. That included one of the video projections.
And wider views of the exhibit and other visitors.
I very much enjoyed visiting this exhibit, and decided to take in the large screen film Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs playing in the Museum theatre (my first time in a theatre since before Covid). On the way I photographed this large panel for the exhibit on a rolling door. If you'd like to see the film, click here. Tomorrow we start looking at more of the Museum.
Beautiful. But likely heavy. Glad I have my straw-hat...
ReplyDeleteIf you compare the Egypt of this time to Egypt today, what a difference !
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI would have a headache, if I had to wear one of those headdresses. They look heavy.
Great exhibit. Take care, have a great day!
It looks like this was a wonderful exhibit. I've enjoyed seeing it.
ReplyDelete@Iris: I wonder how much the one at left would weigh.
ReplyDelete@Gattina: a big difference.
@Italiafinlandia: it was.
@Eileen: a couple of them certainly.
@Sharon: I enjoyed showing it.
You would need neck-strengthening exercises to wear some of these!
ReplyDeleteUma bela exposição.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.

ReplyDelete...the concept of royalty is something that I have never understood.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite civilizations.
ReplyDeleteThose headdresses are very impressive. I doubt you would be able to walk far in one of those.

It's very much like our Waitangi museum here in the far north with it's projections but I think these days museums have to keep up with technology to make the experience more interesting for people.
ReplyDeleteVery lavish headwear.
ReplyDeleteThose crown headdresses are beautiful and so fine and detailed finished.
ReplyDeleteWhat heavy headdresses to sport. Probably only for ceremnies.
ReplyDeleteVery dramatic!
ReplyDeleteThe replica headresses are stunning:)
