traveling exhibits as gateways to examining Egypt’s global diplomacy and
tourism during the 1960s and 1970s.
This project explores how cultural heritage becomes mobile, embodying and shaping the political ambitions of the modern Egyptian state. Antiquities rarely travelled prior to the Treasures of Tutankhamun exhibitions of the 1960s and 70s. Commonly, displays remained at the museum where they were held. However, between 1961 and 1981, objects from the tomb of Tutankhamun housed at the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, toured the world in unprecedented blockbuster exhibitions. Tokyo (1965), Paris (1967), London (1972) and Moscow (1974-5) marveled as the ‘boy-king’ was brought to their doorstep. In the US, 8 million people saw the exhibition when it toured six cities between 1976-9. These exhibitions were initiated and conceived by the newly decolonized and independent Egyptian state. The tours promoted cultural diplomacy, raised financial aid for Egypt and were extraordinary because they precipitated a change in worldwide museum practice to now embrace traveling collections.

ARCE administers research fellowships for postdoctoral scholars and professionals affiliated with North American universities and research institutions with funding from the NEH. These fellowships are awarded for periods ranging from 4-10 months. Pre-doctoral scholars are funded through a grant from the U.S. State Department. The ARCE Fellowship Program enables fellows to reside in Egypt in order to conduct research, and build and expand professional networks with Egyptian scholars. Upon return to their home institutions, NEH-funded Fellows integrate their research experience into their academic courses. Further dissemination of results occur through active engagement in local, national, and international symposia and scholarly publications thus contributing to academia and a deeper understanding between cultures. |
