On 18 November 2016 the National Museum of Antiquities (or in Dutch Rijksmuseum van Oudheden (RMO)) opened its new Egyptian galleries. An urgent asbestos restoration had offered the opportunity to renew the exhibitions thoroughly, as had been planned for a long time. In the previous display the Egyptian material had been presented in chronological order in a highly educative fashion. Visitors began their tour in the Egyptian Stone Age, passed through the Early Dynastic period, followed by the Old, Middle and New Kingdoms, into the Greaco-Roman Period, ending with the Copts. The aim of the exhibition was to present the history of Egyptian culture at full length. In the new display Egyptian history is told explicitly through the lens of the Leiden collection. Clear choices were made in terms of objects and storyline in order to stress strong aspects of the Leiden collection. After a general introduction about Egyptian history and culture, four thematic rooms focus on Egyptian religion, afterlife, sculpture, and Egypt’s interaction with other cultures. This article discusses the ideas behind this conceptual change and its consequences for the presentation of the material.
