From March 12 to May 30, the Liberec Library will host a large-scale exhibition by the Czech Institute of Egyptology at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, titled The Magic of Discovery. The exhibition commemorates the 200th anniversary of the decipherment of hieroglyphs by Jean-François Champollion and the 100th anniversary of the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings by Howard Carter.
From Hieroglyphs to Tutankhamun
Visitors can look forward to an illuminated replica of the Rosetta Stone, an introduction to the evolution of Egyptian writing and the process by which Champollion deciphered it, a walkthrough model of Tutankhamun’s burial chamber, and an insight into the secrets of mummification.
