Egyptomania: Modern Fascination with Ancient Egypt

Past Exhibit
January 10 - March 31, 2022

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 was displayed in this exhibit of books, photographs, and maps from the 18th-20th centuries. These materials showed evidence of European explorations, exploitation, and archaeological excavations of Egypt.
