Führung: Holz und Handwerk

Wood was a precious raw material in Ancient Egypt. Skilled craftsmen made furniture and everyday objects from it, as well as grave goods and elaborately painted coffins. The guided tour sheds light on the varied uses of wood and, using selected museum objects, makes visible the mastery of ancient Egyptian woodworking. In doing so, it becomes clear what role wood played in daily life and in the furnishing of tombs.
