Für die Ewigkeit! Altägyptische Steingefäße

Description

Ancient Egyptian Stone Vessels shows the Egyptians’ technique for producing stone vessels in the highest quality by drilling into the hardest stone, a technique that was implemented over 6,000 years ago. In the exhibition the visitor experiences the collection of August Kestner as well as the never-shown-before private CHEPERI COLLECTION. Through a video and audio guide the visitor interactively experiences the stories behind the millennia-old luxury products.
