Guided tour Expedition Egypt - Meet the Curator

23.07     Meet the Curator – Elisabeth van Caelenberge / in Dutch

Meet the creators of the exhibition Expedition Egypt

Curators Luc Delvaux and Elisabeth Van Caelenberge will explain their project and guide you through 200 centuries of Egyptology.

Contemporary artist Sara Sallam will talk about her work which is woven through the exhibition, adding an artistic rebuttal to the subject. Her idiosyncratic and critical views are expressed through her poetic and powerful installations.

By meeting the driving forces behind this exhibition project and entering in conversation with them, you will be able to experience the exhibition in a different and unique way.
