The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization exhibits a selected number of accessioned objects that document the earth-shattering event of “Pharaohs’ Golden Parade”.
In commemoration of the grand parade that was held in April earlier this year, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Fustat exhibits at entrance of the Core Exhibition Hall four objects including; the garments and accessories worn by the show’s performers as well as the sheet of the musical composition along with the Maestro’s baton.
Dr. Ahmed Ghoneim, the Managing Executive Director of the Authority of the NMEC, highlights that displaying such objects comes within the new approaches proposed by the NMEC’s team, that aim to enrich and develop the museum’s narrative, as well as to commemorate the event of the Golden Parade. Ghoneim emphasizes that this approach will increase the number of visitors, especially those who keenly watched the show and those whom are interested in fashion.
Many visitors have expressed their excitement towards this addition, as they were keen on taking photographs to commemorate their memorable trip to NMEC.
It is worth mentioning that the NMEC has received from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, twenty-two royal mummies of Kings and Queens that were transferred to the NMEC in Fustat in a ground-breaking parade. In a special gesture, the museum has kept the event’s billboards to encourage their audience to take photos, remember the exceptional event, and to commemorate their visit to the NMEC.
