Become a Chau Chak Wing Museum member and join us on this exclusive tour of the museum's Egyptian galleries.

Explore our two Egyptian Galleries and go on a journey, through the modern history of Egyptomania and archaeological discovery to the biographical insights and ethical complexities of caring for individuals who lived and died in Ancient Egypt.

In The Place of Truth (set Maat, / دار الحقيقة ) gallery, you will encounter four individuals of elite status who lived and died in Egypt between 1200 BC and 100 AD. Their names are Meruah, Padiashaikhet, Mer-Neith-it-es and Horus. These are people who have been displaced and now reside far away from their original intended place of burial.

In Pharaonic Obsessions: Ancient Egypt, an Australian story examine Australia’s continuing fascination with ancient Egypt through the diverse artefacts collected by Australians and the archaeological sites that ignited our imagination.
