The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir hosted the inauguration of a new exhibition featuring the wooden panels from the Mastaba of Hesy-Ra on Sunday evening 13/10/2024.

This collection is considered one of the most significant wooden artifacts from ancient Egypt, following extensive study and restoration efforts conducted in collaboration with the French Institute of Oriental Archaeology in Cairo.

The exhibition offers a comprehensive contextual representation of the wooden panels as they would have appeared within the mastaba, based on their scientific documentation. 

A corridor has been constructed that accurately replicates the western corridor of the Mastaba of Hesy-Ra in Saqqara, with niches housing the original wooden panels. 

Additionally, a simulation of the eastern wall of the mastaba has been created, adorned with engravings that reflect the original design of the mastaba.
