Egypt of the Pharaohs : From Cheops to Ramses II – A Historical Exploration

From 9 February 2024, immerse yourself in the thousand-year-old history of the Egypt of the pharaohs through the emblematic treasures of this legendary civilisation.

From the outset, explore the unique cosmogony of ancient Egypt, with its epic tales of the birth of the world and the clashes of the gods, projected onto the walls of the Atelier des Lumières. Then follow the course of the sacred Nile, source of life and fertility, whose seasonal floods nourish a luxuriant flora and fauna.

Contemplate the miracle of ancient architecture with the construction of the pyramids, impressive witnesses to the durability of ancient Egypt, intimately linked to the reigns of the pharaohs. Admire the monumental sculptures of legendary rulers such as Khephren, Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, Akhenaten and Nefertiti, whose names echo down the ages.
Finally, plunge into the beyond as you approach the astronomical ceiling of Denderah, whose grandeur unfolds its mysteries within sight, offering a majestic conclusion to this immersive journey into the Egypt of the pharaohs.
