The exhibit “Egypt’s Sunken Treasures” will remain until next December 30 at the Matadero de Legazpi given its huge success among the public of Madrid. More than 200,000 people have already visited the show since its inauguration on April 15.
Although its closing was supposed to happen on September 28, the organizers decided to extend the exhibit until Nov. 15, and now until the end of the year, according to sources from the organization.
“Egypt’s Sunken Treasures” showcases over 500 Egyptian antiquities rescued from the sea bed by the team of archaeologist leaded by Franck Goddio, including colossal statues some six meters in height and objects that have more than 2,000 years of history.
