Project « Egyptian treasures from Wallonia »
In 2012, the Wallonia region placed a collection of several hundred Egyptian objects on long term loan with the museum. Belgian and French Egyptologists and young researchers are helping us to examine these truly remarkable pieces.
This collection comprises amulets, funerial statuettes, stone crockery, jewellery and some pieces of reliefs. Some of these objects are already on display in the museum’s permanent collection but others require further investigation.
The full results are published in the museum’s online collections while a document listing the most remarkable pieces is being published by the Wallonia Heritage Agency (AWAP).

Each curator is responsible for one of the museum sections (Egyptian & Near Eastern Antiquities, Greek & Roman Antiquities, Regional & Estate Archaeology, Decorative Arts, Non-European Arts, Regional & Estate History), its preservation and development. They also create the content for the Museum’s permanent and temporary exhibitions in their own specific field.
