Prednáška výstavy Tutanchamon jeho hrobka a poklady: Keď hovorí zlato: príbehy Tutanchamonových šperkov

The lecture will last from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and before or after the lecture, there will be an opportunity to tour the exhibition itself with an audio guide.

Tutankhamun is rightly called the golden pharaoh—his tomb contained a huge amount of gold objects, especially exceptional jewelry. The lecture will focus on the significance of gold in ancient Egypt and the role it played in the pharaoh’s tomb. Through selected pieces of jewelry, we will look at the materials, types, technical perfection of workmanship, but also their deep religious and symbolic meaning for life on earth and in the underworld. Tutankhamun’s jewelry was not just ostentatious adornment—it tells the fascinating story of ancient Egypt and reveals some of its secrets.

The lecture will be led by:
