This summer, make sure to visit Jewels of the Nile: Ancient Egyptian Treasures from the Worcester Art Museum, on view now until January 29, 2023. The magnificence of ancient Egypt comes to brilliant life through jewelry in this expansive exhibition at WAM. Timed to open 100 years after the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb, Jewels of the Nile puts the Museum’s collection of early Egyptian jewelry on view for the first time in a century, showcasing 300 objects, ranging from tiny beads and gems to large sculptures from the Museum’s other Egyptian holdings. The exhibition is curated by Peter Lacovara, Ph.D., Director of The Ancient Egyptian Archaeology and Heritage Fund; and Yvonne Markowitz, Rita J. Kaplan and Susan B. Kaplan Curator Emerita of Jewelry at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Visit the WAM’s website for more information on the exhibition and accompanying catalogue.
