"One of the major ideas was to create a space in which the statues for the first time become protagonists and are also visible and appreciable from close up," says Johannes Auenmüller, a curator at the museum.
"In the earlier installation, pedestals were about 70cm high, so all of these statues were towering above the visitors. We wanted to bring them down and in this way do more justice to their original placement in the Egyptian temples."
