A collection of masterpieces from the Brooklyn Museum's ancient Egyptian collection is gathered in Nagano!
In this post, we will introduce highlights of the special exhibition.

①Two human mummies and animal mummies!
What is a mummy, and how was it made? We delve into the ancient Egyptians' views on life and death.
We will showcase various works related to funerary rituals, including human and animal mummies, beautiful burial goods, tools for funerals, and reliefs depicting deities.

②The mysterious pharaohs
We will introduce works related to 12 kings who played significant roles throughout 3000 years of dynastic history, tracing the kings' images and the transitions of the dynasties.

③Daily life of ancient Egyptians
Focusing on living conditions, diet, work situations, grooming, childbirth, and child-rearing, we will uncover familiar mysteries that connect to modern life.

④Two types of audio guides
The narrator for the "special edition" is Fuma Kikuchi! How about exploring the mysteries of ancient Egypt with Kikuchi?
In the "regular edition," Yoshidō Tsujioka, a news anchor from Nippon Television, provides clear explanations.

⑤Collaboration goods with PEANUTS
Cute designs featuring Snoopy and friends conducting archaeological research! We have many items for everyday use, such as mugs and tote bags!
