The exhibition introduces Thebes in Egypt, one of the most important urban and religious centres of antiquity, illustrating its historical development from early settlement in primeval times to the arrival of Christianity in the first centuries A.D. The most valuable Egyptian artefacts from Czech and Slovak collections are on display, supplemented by selected exhibits from German museums.
The exhibition Thebes, City of Gods and Pharaohs represents another example in the long list of exhibition projects that arose in close cooperation between the National Museum - Naprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures and the Czech Institute of Egyptology of the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts, Charles University in Prague. The exhibition focuses on Ancient Thebes with its Necropolis, an archaeological site featured since 1979 on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The exhibition offers an integrated view of the cultural-historical development of one of the most important religious and political centres of the ancient world from the beginning of settlement in the area in prehistoric times until the aftermath of the Pharaonic civilization in the time of the Roman rule over Egypt. The aim of the exhibition is also to commemorate Jaroslav Cerny (1898-1970), an important Czechoslovak Egyptologist, who took part at excavations in Thebes. A large number of objects of Theban origin entered the collections of the National Museum through his assistance or even directly from his private property.
