For the first time, the XXI century enters in the course of the Mysteries of the god dead and risen again. Diving in the Gulf of Abukir following the pilgrims traveling annually in procession from Thonis to Canopus, when fields were green and that the god ensured the stability of the dynastic power and the cosmic order.
The exhibition «Osiris, engulfed Mysteries of Egypt» is for the visitor a source of admiration and knowledge, of artistic emotion and spiritual quest.
Every civilization tries to answer the big questions of life and death. The myth of Osiris dis- membered and risen, destroyed by the forces of evil but always fruitful, forming with his wife Isis and his son Horus a celestial triad, can still be seen as a parable of human destiny through its many vicissitudes.
Timeless journey on the Nile on the borders of civilizations ... the boat of Osiris in the veils of Isis and in the flight of Horus lives in our souls for eternity.
