Amarna, Ancient Egypt's Place in the Sun Details
This Exhibition has been extended indefinitely.
Amarna, Ancient Egypt's Place in the Sun
, will remain open as a long-term exhibition at the
University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology
. Amarna, one of Egypt's most rebellious and short-lived cities, dates back 3,300 years as the place where King Tutankhamun spent his childhood.
The Amarna Period in ancient Egyptian history has fascinated archaeologists, historians and everyday knowledge-seekers for centuries. During your visit to the exhibit, you will see more than 100 artifacts that will bring this fascinating era to life.
Use archaeological “clues” — drawings, maps, photography and computer recreations — to rediscover the once-thriving royal court of Amarna. Learn of Amarna’s incredible rise to power — and then of its amazing and abrupt decline.
The considerable collection of artifacts on display supplies the evidence for the exhibition’s storyline, which will take you on a visual and intellectual journey from before the Amarna Period to the end of the 18th Dynasty.
