OSIRIS Mysteries of Eternity
Micha Christos
In a spectacular scenography, the exhibition «Osiris, engulfed Mysteries of Egypt» reveals 250 objects found during underwater excavations led by Franck Goddio these past decades. Forty rarities that had never left Egypt before coming from museums of Cairo and Alexandria add their beauty to these remains of the great ceremony of the «Mysteries of Osiris», found in the cities of Thonis - Heracleion and Canopus.
