A guided tour at\u00a0The Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities especially for members of\u00a0III\u00a0Art<\/i>\u00a0Club. Museum educator Fredrik Helander will\u00a0show us selected highlights from the exhibitions at The Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities. In the vast collections of the Swedish Cyprus expedition’s excavations in the 1920s are hundreds of terracotta figurines from the cult place Ajia Irini. As well as the Etruscan votive offerings which now can be seen at Magasin III in the exhibition Like A Prayer<\/em>, they can be interpreted as gifts to a god or goddess. We will also see the world famous limestone head from the\u00a0Vouni Palace. In the recently refashioned\u00a0Egypt exhibition we meet, among other things, the mummy of the Egyptian priest Neswaiu, and a unique 4400 years old sculpture of the pharaoh Sahure, temporarily borrowed from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.<\/p>\n

Please note that the program will be held in Swedish.<\/p>\n

Invitation and more information about the evening\u2019s program will be communicated via\u00a0the III\u00a0Art<\/em>\u00a0Club newsletter that is sent to members once a month.<\/p>\n
