Visit ancient Egypt at the Louvre
People planning Paris tours over the next couple of months will be able to visit the city’s iconic Musee du Louvre to explore an exhibition dedicated to ancient Egypt.
The expansive display was launched in the museum’s Napoleon Hall on March 6th and will be open until June 29th.
Entitled The Gates of Heaven: Visions of the World in Ancient Egypt, the exhibition takes its name from a phrase that the people of the ancient culture used to describe a passageway that led to the afterlife.
The Louvre has amassed a collection of some 350 artefacts from various collections across France and Europe for the showcase, offering a representation of ancient Egypt from the culture’s earliest times right up to the Roman period.
As well as displaying a variety of objects that had various uses and meanings in the culture, the exhibition places the items in their social, religious and artistic context to provide an additional insight into life in ancient times.
The Louvre is the world’s most visited museum, boasting a collection that encompasses artworks including the Mona Lisa.
Paris – Enjoy the view from the Eiffel Tower or see the Mona Lisa in the "city of light".
