The Gallery of the Kings Museo Egizio / OMA + Andrea Tabocchini Architecture
Briefly

The redesign by OMA for the Gallery of the Kings aims to reconnect colossal statues to their origins in Thebes, enhancing the visitor experience with immersive storytelling.
The transition from darkness to light in the gallery design symbolizes creation in ancient Egypt, combining historical context with captivating visual elements for visitors.
By uncovering the original architecture of the space and allowing daylight to illuminate the statues, the new gallery celebrates their historical context and aesthetic.
Reflective aluminum walls provide not only display information but also enhance the ethereal quality of the gallery, underscoring the importance of history in contemporary exhibits.
