Through 130 artifacts from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and the Luxor Museum, the landmark exhibition “Treasures of the Pharaohs” offers rare insights into the daily life, social structures, religious practices, and legacies of the Egyptian pharaohs.

Three thousand years of ancient Egyptian history are presented through an array of dazzling royal treasures: monumental granite sculptures, elegant gold jewelry, carved and painted stone stele, lavishly decorated sarcophagi, and other exquisite furnishings demonstrate the sophistication of Egyptian craftsmanship and belief systems. And newly discovered artifacts from King Amenhotep III’s workers’ community within the “Golden City” in the Valley of the Kings provide a glimpse into the lives of artisans and laborers often absent from presentations of Egyptian art history.
