WHY THE SKY
A sky image is also a room, a surface and a route.
Egyptian celestial imagery moves between temple ceilings, coffin interiors, jewellery, signs and small amulets. This guide keeps the architecture, material and present museum display visible before connecting them to stories of time, protection and renewal.
