Perfumes of Ancient Egypt

Posted by Robin on 10 December 2024 2 Comments

The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, Cairo, is reviving the history of perfume in ancient Egyptian civilization through a temporary exhibition titled "Perfumes of Ancient Egypt Through the Ages," which will last for about three months. The exhibition aims to shed light on the perfume industry in ancient Egypt, its various uses, different compositions, and the rituals associated with it.

Organized in collaboration with Paul Valéry University Montpellier 3 in France, the dlaboratory [sic] Apis Archimedes, and the hieroglyphic language foundation Herolcix, the exhibition showcases a collection of artifacts related to perfumes.
