Calling all Egyptians, lovers of antiquities and history buffs: this one’s just for you. From December 20 to March 20, you can discover the ancient secrets of pharaohs, gods and mummies at the Guangdong Provincial Museum. Nearly 250 artifacts are on display, all on loan from Museo Egizio, an archeological museum in Turin, Piedmont, Italy, specializing in Egyptian archeology and anthropology. Founded in 1824, it is the world's oldest Egyptian museum and ranks second only to Cairo.
From tiny cat coffins and crocodile mummies to sarcophaguses and shabtis, this incredible exhibition is a visual extravaganza and will not disappoint. We at That’s managed to snag a look before it opened to the public. Here is a selection of shots from the exhibition.
