A special sneak peek of the dramatic centerpiece to go on view in our highly anticipated Egypt Galleries: Life and Afterlife, opening late 2026!
A team of conservators and engineers installed a massive 5-ton “false door” from the 4,300-year-old Tomb Chapel of Kaipure, a high-ranking treasury official of Egypt’s Old Kingdom (ca. 2350 BCE), which was excavated more than a century ago at Saqquara.
Following extensive conservation across nearly three decades, the tomb chapel and its “false door” now more vividly display hieroglyphic inscriptions and remarkable scenes of daily life, offerings, and rituals, as well as representations of Kaipure, the individual buried in the tomb.
Once completed, visitors will be able to move through the monumental structure and experience what it feels like to be inside an ancient tomb chapel!
