A Journey Through Time: Visiting the Pharaoh Exhibition at NGV
Extraordinary to see - make it a must do - and here's a link to help starting learning heiroglyphs
Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to visit the National Gallery of Victoria’s exhibition, “Pharaoh: King of Egypt” (NGV Exhibition). This event features a stunning collection of Egyptian artefacts on loan from the British Museum, offering a rare glimpse into the ancient world.
As I wandered through the exhibition, I was captivated by the sheer beauty and intricacy of the artefacts. The craftsmanship of these pieces, all of which date back thousands of years, is truly awe-inspiring. The faces and expressions carved into stone speak through the centuries with such clarity.
One of the most striking aspects of the exhibition was the way the art seemed to come alive. The detailed hieroglyphics, the regal statues of pharaohs, and the delicate jewelry all conveyed a sense of timelessness. The spirit of ancient Egypt is present in the room if you take a moment to realise it, offering a silent and powerful connection to the past.
The experience was not just visually stunning but also deeply moving. The artistry and craftsmanship of the ancient artisans and scribes left me in a state of loud inner silence, and the bustling room and crowd dissapeared from my immediate perception many times. The remembering of the expressions on the faces of a number of the statues gave such an impactful impression of the reality beyond which inspired these poeple to make such an extraordinary effort which has made it down to us to remember them, and what they put into their craft and handmade efforts.
Following this post is a gallery of images taken on my phone during the visit. These photos capture some of the exhibition and the artefacts that have left a lasting impression within.
