Egyptian Museum exhibits work by Hungarian archaeologists

Hungarian Minister of Education and Culture Istvan Hiller on Friday opened an exhibition at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo of more than a century of work by Hungarian archaeologists in the Theban Necropolis.

The exhibition, entitled “Hungarian Excavations in the Theban Necropolis — 102 Years of Field Work in Egypt”, features more than 140 artifacts dug out by Hungarian archaeologists in Egypt since 1907.

The Egyptian Museum has invited countries involved in Egyptian excavations to display their finds since 2002.
