Egyptomania: Modern Fascination with Ancient EgyptCurrent Exhibit
January 10 - March 31, 2022 Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. European enthusiasm for Ancient Egypt was renewed with Napoleon’s invasion of the region and with the 1822 translation of the Rosetta Stone. These events led to greater research and exploration of Ancient Egyptian architecture and artifacts, as you can see in our latest exhibit of books, photographs, and maps from the 18th-20th centuries. Come visit the Noel Collection to see evidence of European explorations, exploitations, and archaeological excavations of Egypt.
