We have a new exhibit!Egyptomania: Modern Fascination with Ancient EgyptJanuary 10 - March 31, 2022Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.European enthusiasm for Ancient Egypt was renewed with Napoleon’s invasion of the region and with the 1822 translation of the Rosetta Stone. These events led to greater research and exploration of Ancient Egyptian architecture and artifacts, as you can see in our latest exhibit of books, photographs, and maps from the 18th-20th centuries. Come visit the Noel Collection to see evidence of European explorations, exploitations, and archaeological excavations of Egypt.Image from: Views in Egypt, , from the original drawings, in the possession of Sir Robert Ainslie, taken during his embassy to Constantinople by Luigi Mayer (London: Printed by Thomas Bensley… for R.
