The pieces displayed in the exhibition were chosen to illustrate the "legend of Osiris",the Egyptian god of the afterlife. The “legend of Osiris” is one of the great founding myths of ancient Egypt. It was remembered, perpetuated and renewed in the annual celebration of the “Mysteries of Osiris”, one of the great religious ceremonies of ancient Egypt.
