Cleveland Museum of Art Celebrates 3,000 Years of Ancient History With 'Pharaoh: King of Ancient Egypt' Exhibition

By:

Cleveland Museum of Art presents Pharaoh: King of Ancient Egypt, Sun, 03/13/2016 to Sun, 06/12/2016 at The Kelvin and Eleanor Smith Foundation Hall.

Pharaoh: King of Ancient Egypt brings 3,000 years of ancient history to life through some of the finest objects from the vast Egyptian holdings of the British Museum, from monumental sculpture to exquisite jewelry, supplemented by masterworks from the Cleveland collection. While many objects here were created to project a regal image of pharaoh, the story that emerges through this exhibition is also one of a country divided by civil war, conquered by foreign powers, or ruled by competing kings. These ancient rulers themselves were not always male, or even Egyptian, but they shared in the challenges of ruling one of the greatest civilizations the world has seen.

The presentation of Pharaoh: King of Ancient Egypt is a collaboration between the British Museum and the Cleveland Museum of Art. The exhibition in Cleveland is made possible by Baker Hostetler, with additional support from the Selz Foundation.
