Caixaforum Madrid 'Faraón' - Ancient Egyptian art exhibition

Last month I visited a Caixaforum exhibition featuring Ancient Egyptian art and objects from the British Museum, especially focusing on the Pharaohs ("Faraón. Rey de Egipto").

Some pics I took:

➡️Stela depicting the Roman emperor Tiberius (14-37 AD, Karnak)
 


➡️The Great Harris papyrus (20th dynasty, 1184-1153 BC, Thebes)


➡️Statue of Sennefer, senior official concerned with financial matters under the reign of female pharaoh Hatshepsut, wrapped in a mantle (and looking mighty pleased with himself xD) (18th dynasty, ca 1450 BC) .



➡️When you have to spell your name without an 'e' xDD
  
➡️When you already have a huge to-read book pile, but you still get three books at the exhibition's shop because they tempted me with books, science and feminism, Frodo 😂!! 📚♀️🔭 And of course, they also tempted me with lip balms and notebooks xD
