As the Egyptian Museum in Cairo – which houses the treasures of Tutankhamun – reaches its 115th birthday, this lecture will provide insights into the history of the museum.
Former director Mohamed Saleh will present the history of the collection and displays, and an insight into day-to-day work of the museum and its staff. Together with Fathi Saleh, founder of CULTNAT, he will continue by showcasing the ways in which new technologies are being used to enhance the museum experience, including in new museums in Cairo and beyond.
The lecture will be followed by a reception, including demonstration of virtual reality interfaces to the tomb of Tutankhamun.
Presented in collaboration with the Egyptian Bureau for Educational and Cultural Affairs, under the auspices of HE Ambassador Nasser Kamel, and with the generous support of Dr Ahmed el-Mokadem, patron and founder of the British Egyptian Society.
