"The secrets of Egyptian tombs" - amazing exhibition in Wrocław!


Well, not yet. But really soon, in a year one could admire an exhibition totally different to those organized so far in Poland. Why it is so? As archaeologist and organizer of the exhibition Patryk Chudzik from the Institute of Archaeology (Wrocław University) explained - first of all for the first time in Poland a reconstruction on ancient Egyptian tomb in natural scale will be presented (its the tomb which was found on a site excavated by Chudzik himself!). At the same time virtual reconstruction of the tomb will be presented.

Chudzik excavates Asasif necropolis placed next to famous Hatshepsut temple in Deir el-Bahari. Its nearly impossible nowadays to borrow artifacts from Egypt. Thats why Chudzik decided to use amazing technology - copies of relics will be printed 3D technology! So they will be really accurate and at the same times the exhibition will be available for sand-blinded people. "Artifacts" will be touchable.

I don't like exhibitions devoted to archaeology without original artifacts. I am not going to be disappointed here - organizer decided to borrow selected objects from Polish collections - which? This is going to be announced soon, but it all sounds really promising to me. 

The exhibition will be ready for visitors on September 2016. Where? In Wrocław Archaeological Museum. It will be prepared as a part of the European Capital of Culture (ECC) programme. To sum up - I am as happy as a clam! Its going to be a real treat for Egyptology fans from Central-Eastern Europe. As soon as I will get more information on it - i will let you all know.
