The Eygptian galleries at the Louvre are perhaps the best-known in the world, containing some of the most precious works of art ever found among the ruins of the ancient kingdoms that once rose along the Nile. In 1996, with the renovation of the Eygptian wing of the Louvre, Americans had the rare opportunity to view 30 of these treasures firsthand: works that have never travelled since their acquisition were gathered for an exhibition at the Cleveland Museum of Art in February 1996.
