As part of NMEC’s responsibility to preserve and promote the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of Egypt, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization organized on Saturday, November 6th 2021, a live workshop for the general public, on the Traditional Art of Sinai’s Embroidery.
The event has witnessed a remarkable interaction among the museum’s visitors, especially the youth, who were keen to follow up on the live work, and have involved in direct discussions with artisans. Through the live workshop, NMEC’s visitors were offered a unique opportunity to examine the basic elements of embroidery, the variety of stitches, as well as the pre-determined elements and colors used in decorating traditional Bedouin costumes, besides a wide range of decorative products.
Mrs. Fayrouz Fekry, the Deputy Director for Management and Operation at NEMC, emphasized that NMEC designs and delivers free specialized workshops suitable for different age groups, and such efforts are an essential element of NMEC’s policy, as they eventually
inspire the museum’s visitors to get acquainted with the Egyptian civilization’s rich cultural heritage.
