The Valley of the Queens: A virtual journey into the splendor of ancient Egypt

At RW21 in Bayreuth, a fascinating insight opens into one of the most impressive necropolises of ancient Egypt. The event on May 16, 2026, leads into the artistically designed tombs of queens, princesses, and princes, connecting archaeological findings with aesthetic experience.

An artistic experience between symbolism and history

The Valley of the Queens is regarded as a place where architecture, painting, and religious imagination form an extraordinary unity. Particularly, the tomb of Nefertari, wife of Ramses II, represents a visual language of great sophistication: vibrant colors, clear lines, and a composition that still resonates beyond millennia.

When tomb art becomes cultural education

The virtual journey makes visible how closely art history, archaeology, and museum education are interconnected. Visitors gain insights into the work of explorers, researchers, and restorers who preserve these artifacts from decay. This creates an access that not only informs but also sharpens the focus on preservation, context, and interpretation.

The venue: RW21 as an educational center in Bayreuth

RW21 at Richard-Wagner-Straße 21 is a municipal educational center and a house of encounter. The event will take place in seminar room 4 and is aimed at adults, seniors, as well as students and apprentices.
