With the flashlight into the mysterious Sennefer tomb

Egyptian history to touch

The tour leads through the so-called tomb of the vine trellis, which normally remains closed and can only be viewed as part of selected tours. Curators and museum educators vividly convey who Sennefer and his wife Merit were, and what ideas the ancient Egyptians had about life after death.

The flashlights make the burial chamber a unique experience space. Colors, representations, and symbolic details gradually emerge from the darkness. The specially designed tour for families with children combines age-appropriate knowledge transfer with exciting observations and an authentic atmosphere.
