Overview

• The museum reopened the Iti and Neferu and Princess Ahmose galleries on July 8 as part of its phased renewal of core exhibit spaces.
• The revamped rooms feature enhanced accessibility measures and a linen covering for Princess Ahmose’s previously unwrapped mummy to uphold ethical display standards.
• A decorative mural fragment from the Iti and Neferu tomb and leather sandals belonging to an 18th-dynasty princess were rediscovered and restored for the new installations.
• Director Christian Greco described the relaunch as the first step in an intensive programme to rethink and update all exhibition halls under evolving museological criteria.
• A crowdfunding campaign has been launched to support the 120th anniversary project for the discovery of the tomb of Kah and Merit.
