Face to face with 3,000 years of history. Surrounded by gods and kings who’ve been holding this pose for a few thousand years, the craftsmanship of Ancient Egypt is simply timeless.
The famous statue of Thutmose III carved from greywacke (a very hard, dark stone), known for its incredibly smooth finish and ability to last for millennia. The reflection in the glass adds a modern layer to an ancient subject. The statue is located in the Gallery of the Kings at Museo Egizio in Turin, one of the world’s leading museums dedicated solely to ancient Egypt. The hall is famous for its rows of monumental statues, dramatic lighting and mirrored walls that seem to stretch the line of pharaohs into infinity.
