THE COLORS OF ANCIENT EGYPT

The Grand Egyptian Museum, Cairo-Tahrir is letting some of its most unique pieces come alive. This multimedia exhibition is the first of its kind in the museum’s history. With the image-mapping technique, the oldest masterpieces of art are colored through light and brought back to life. As a co-funder. You can take part of this historic event.

This Project is supported by the Ministry of Antiquities and The German Embassy Egypt

PREPERATION

While doing this procedure we work hand in hand with archeologists and conservators in the museum to ensure a color accuracy with accordance to originality. This requires us to inspire local archaeologists to scientifically research each chosen object in order to find out what the true colors were. This will generate historical scholarship of each relevant time period and motivate the academic practice of young archaeologists. Moreover, projected light is no different than other visible light therefore will create no damage to the objects.
