[01] Egyptian antiquities exhibition
Culture Minister Mihalis Liapis on Wednesday evening inaugurated two
collections of the National Archaelogical Museum in Athens,
delivering to the international public two important entities, the
collection of Egyptian antiquities and the collection of Eleni and
Antonis Stathatos.
The Egyptian collection dates back to the last twenty years of the
19th Century, while it is worthy to note the donation of the
Egyptian government which in 1893 offered nine mummies of the era of
the Pharaohs. However, the Egyptian collection is mainly by two
donors, Ioannis Dimitriou (in 1880) and of Alexandros Rostovic (in
1904).
According to Liapis, "this exhibition broadens internationally the
horizon of the permanent exhibitions and places it among the great
museums of the world. Greeks who do not have the opportunity to
travel, can have a full rapprochement, to learn quite a lot about
Egyptian civilization."
