As a follow-up to our Conference : Rivalité franco-anglaise et hiéroglyphes, we are delighted to invite you for an exclusive made-to-measure visit of the Ashmolean in French.

Champollion’s 1822 breakthrough made it possible for the first time to read the very kinds of texts now preserved in the Ashmolean’s Egyptian galleries—from Ptolemaic hieroglyphic coffin fragments to thousands of ostraca in hieratic and demotic. In this hour-long visit, you will hear about this fascinating world with an Ashmolean French-speaking guide, Sofia Kolb, and discover the impressive Ashmolean Ancient Egypt Collection, all in French. 

Open to all
