The Museo Egizio is closed, but its activity does not stop, and research is at the center of it!

In November, the new program of scientific conferences kicks off, and for the 2020/2021 season it will offer a double calendar of online meetings, focused on Egyptological, museological and archival research and investigation topics, which will alternate international speakers and curators of the Museum.

The first conference program, organized in collaboration with ACME (an association of supporters and friends of the Museo Egizio), will see the participation of scholars from Italy and abroad, who will discuss the results and progress of their ongoing researches. Among these Vincent Rondot, director of the Department of Egyptian Antiquities of the Louvre Museum, Rita Lucarelli, who is conducting studies on Egyptian funerary art using 3D and augmented reality technologies at Berkeley University, Ramadan Badri Hussein, whose lecture will focus on some recent discoveries related to the Saqqara excavations in Egypt, and Luigi Prada, member of the Department of Egyptology at the University of Oxford and president of ACME.
