ancient Egypt exhibit gods Metropolitan Museum.

It’s been more than a decade since the last big ancient Egypt show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Now comes “Divine Egypt.” The lavish show explores how ancient Egyptians depicted their gods. The show opened on Oct. 12. It features over 200 works, including statues and figurines, from the Met’s collection and beyond. Curator Diana Craig Patch explains that the exhibition covers all periods of ancient Egyptian civilization, focusing on 25 main deities. Highlights include sculptures of Amun-Re, Horus, and Hathor, and galleries exploring creation myths and the afterlife. Patch hopes visitors will gain new insights into how Egyptians related to their deities.
