Egypt. Three Millennia on the Nile

Ancient Egypt reveals its secrets at Pointe-à-Callière!

With its 3,000-year history, ancient Egypt is one of the world’s longest-lasting and most brilliant civilizations. We have ancient Egypt to thank for our intellectual heritage, our writing, the birth of architecture, our concept of space, time, and eternal life...

In an exclusive North American presentation, the exhibition Egypt. Three Millennia on the Nile showcases over 300 authentic objects from the collection of Museo Egizio in Turin, Italy, displayed throughout an exceptional exhibition layout that takes you on a journey through history. From the civilization’s origins to its conquest by the Romans, delve into the heart of this age-old, strongly hierarchical society whose backbone was formed by the majestic Nile River. A moving and immersive experience awaits you, putting a human face on daily, social, and religious life in the age of the pharaohs!
