The exhibition Expedition Egypt brings together more than two hundred objects from its eminent Egyptian collection. Highlights include the sumptuously decorated coffins from the priestly cache of Deir el-Bahari. In addition, a wide variety of stunning pieces from the collection will be shown to the public for the very first time. Objects like funerary stelae, canopic vases for the entrails of the deceased, and shabti figurines meant to accompany the dead in the afterlife, will introduce the visitors to the Egyptian world of the gods and eternal life. The exhibition will also be richly provided with unique historical photographic material. This journey through time will be punctuated by the artistic interventions of Sara Sallam (°1991, Cairo). The artist explores contemporary Egyptian cultural identity and questions the history and meaning of Egyptology. Nourished by childhood memories and archaeological and museum sources , Sara Sallam’s works offer a new look on the heritage of ancient Egypt.

Victor Horta travaillait régulièrement avec le joailler Philippe Wolfers et réalisa pour lui un magasin avec atelier à l’ombre de la cathédrale Saints-Michel-et-Gudule. La rue d’Arenberg était alors connue pour ses commerces de luxe. En 1977, la famille Wolfers offrit aux Musées Royaux d’Art et d’Histoire le mobilier intérieur du magasin, tout en acajou. Depuis 2017, il est à redécouvrir dans toute sa splendeur dans la salle Horta-Wolfers. Tout comme à l’époque, nous pouvons y admirer de célèbres bijoux conçus et réalisés par le maître bijoutier Philippe Wolfers. Mais d’autres artistes art nouveau et art déco y sont présents. Découvrons ainsi un haut lieu de l’art belge. Par la même occasion, cette collection témoigne d’une époque riche en nouvelles technologies, industrie et entreprises, en même temps que des premiers pas vers la mondialisation, d’un renouveau politique et social, ainsi que du passé colonial de la Belgique. Les dimanches 30.04 / 25.06 / 27.08 / 29.10 / 31.12 De 14:00 à 15:30 15 € / 10 (-19 ans & Museumpass) Lieu de rendez-vous : Musée Art & Histoire

Victor Horta and Jef Lambeaux are the respective authors of the classic tempietto with hints of art nouveau and the monumental white marble relief 'The Human Passions’. The title, the sensually writhing nudes and the wrinkled, to say the least, relationship between the two artist helped create the story and the scandal surrounding this pavilion in the Cinquantenaire Park. Thoroughly restored in 2019, it regained its pre-long closure grandeur. On Sundays 30.04 / 25.06 / 27.08 / 29.10 / 31.12 From 11:00 to 12:00 € 10 / 5 (-19 years & Museumpass) Meeting point: Main Entrance of the Art & History Museum

Victor Horta regularly worked with goldsmith Philippe Wolfers and designed for him a shop with workshop in the shadow of St Michael and St Gudula Cathedral in the rue Arenberg, which used to be known for its up-market shops. In 1977, the shop interior made of mahogany from Honduras was donated by the Wolfers family to the Royal Museums of Art and History. From 2017, after extensive research and renovations, it can once again be admired in its full glory in what is now the Horta-Wolfers gallery. Today we invite you to step into the carefully reconstructed shop and experience the highlight of Belgian art. Admire renowned jewellery pieces designed and executed by master jeweller Philippe Wolfers as well as those of other art nouveau and art deco artists. Marvel at a collection that bears witness to a period in time where new technologies, industry and entrepreneurship where on the rise, as well as a time when businesses took the first steps towards globalisation against the backdrop of political and social renewal and Belgium's colonial past. On Sundays 28.05 / 30.07 / 24.09 / 26.11 From 11:00 to 12:30 € 15 / 10 (-19 years & Museumpass) Meeting point: Art & History Museum

Victor Horta et Jef Lambeaux sont respectivement les auteurs du tempietto classique teinté d’art nouveau et du relief monumental en marbre blanc « Les Passions humaines ». Le titre, les nus qui se tordent sensuellement et les relations pour le moins intenses entre les personnages ont contribué au scandale qui éclata autour de ce pavillon. Grâce à une restauration en profondeur en 2019, l’œuvre a retrouvé son lustre d’avant la fermeture.
