Egyptology Meets Science: Giving Ancient Objects a Voice
GETTY VILLA
Auditorium
This is a past event
Christian Greco, director of the Egyptian Museum of Turin, shows how his museum breathes new life into old discoveries and prevents artefacts from "dying." The insights that grow from multidisciplinary research and dialogue generate new ways to tell the stories of the 6,500 objects on display, while cutting-edge scientific collaboration contributes to their long-term preservation. Greco's enthusiasm for presenting the stunning collection in a new light led to a major renovation with expanded exhibition space, refreshed artefact descriptions, modern displays and lighting, and innovative 3D content.
