What worlds open up when we look at an object?
Behind every artefact lies a landscape: the land and river from which its material comes, the hands that shaped it, the colours and sounds of an environment transformed over time. On 20 November 2026, the Museo Egizio will inaugurate an immersive room that brings precisely this to the public: a space for experimentation rooted in research and presenting its findings through an innovative approach.
Visitors who descend the stairs and enter the hypogeum of the Museo Egizio will embark on a journey along the banks of the Nile, through the atmospheres, colours and sounds of Egypt, from antiquity through the successive transformations of the landscape.
While following in the footsteps of immersive experiences associated with the historical and artistic heritage, this room is the first of its kind in the field of archaeology. Thanks to its flexible structure, it will be able to host a constantly evolving range of content.
A project looking towards the future of the Museo, made possible through the support of Brightstar: a highly technological space with a programme of guided tours that will make it accessible to the public.
The room has also been created thanks to the contribution of Lavazza.
How did the project come about?
The process of making the Museum’s heritage accessible to the public, which began in 2024 with the free opening of the Rock Chapel of Ellesiya, now gains another fundamental element: a new dimension to the museum experience, immersing visitors in the atmospheres, colours and sounds of Egypt, from antiquity through the successive transformations of the landscape.
An adaptive narrative system in which immersive projection is not merely a means of communication, but is itself the outcome of technological research — a theme that lies at the heart of the shared vision of the partners involved in this project.
From the biography of the object to the landscape and back
When we look at an artefact in a display case, we engage with all of its material aspects: its shape, colours and any traces left by the passage of time. Yet in doing so, it is as though we were looking at a still frame from a much longer film concerning the history of that object.
Every artefact, in fact, has a complex biography encompassing the entire series of events that brought it into being — the artisan’s idea, the choice of raw materials, its creation and subsequent uses — as well as the history that brought it to the place where we see it today: archaeological excavation, research and conservation work.
This space invites visitors to discover precisely these chapters in the biographies of objects, focusing first and foremost on the landscape, understood as a co-protagonist in the story of an artefact’s life.
There are different types of lands
