Preview on the exhibition 'Ancient Egyptians: Masters of Art'

The Provincial Councillor for Italian Culture of the Autonomous Province of Bozen/Bolzano presents 'Art Stories with the Great Museums', a multi-annual itinerary designed to lead South Tyroleans to the discovery of ancient and modern civilisations and the works of art to which they gave rise. An initiative developed by the Culture Office of the Italian Culture Department in the wake of those that for years have made concrete a specific indication of the provincial law on culture: 'a culture for all'. In order to achieve this goal, each year a historical era will be chosen, starting with the oldest ones, in connection with an important Italian museum. The project will start in the autumn with 'Ancient Egyptians: masters of art', an exhibition that will gather various exhibits from the Egyptian Museum in Turin. The exhibition, curated by Paolo Marini, curator of the Egyptian Museum, will be dedicated to the arts of ancient Egypt and will span more than three millennia of history.
