Highlights from the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo

The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is one of the largest archaeological museums in the world and is located near the famous pyramids of Giza. It houses thousands of artifacts from ancient Egypt, including the entire treasure of Tutankhamun, many of which are on display together for the first time.

But you don't have to go to Cairo to see them! Twice you have the opportunity to go on a journey to spectacular, unusual and previously unpublished artifacts in Berlin! In two lectures, renowned Egyptologists will present their favorite objects from the newly opened galleries of the GEM. Don't worry, the talks are aimed specifically at a wide audience and will be held in English and German. Afterwards, there will be an open Q&A session where participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the objects that interest them the most.
