Over 5000 years ago, one of the most advanced and pre-eminent ancient civilizations developed along the River Nile. Ever since, ancient Egypt, the land of pharaohs, extraordinary art, cultural splendor, miracles and mysteries, has captivated the imagination of people all over the world.

A journey along the Nile: Egypt — The Time of Pharaohs uncovers the pharaohs’ secrets and explores the daily life in ancient Egypt. Over 350 original artifacts, some of them over 3500 years old, as well as detailed, interactive models of once lost cities and landscape witness the pharaohs’ splendor. Vivid multimedia spaces and interactives bring ancient Egypt back to life.
