Egypt from the Pharaohs to the Carrières des Lumières: the exhibition in pictures
Careers of the Enlightenment
From April 19, 2024 to January 2, 2025
Enter history. For once, the Carrières des Lumières abandon the incandescent palette of the great masters of modern art for the warmth of a distant country. Nestled in the heart of the Alpilles, at the foot of the city of Baux-de-Provence, the site takes us on a whole new adventure, inviting us to experience a true digital odyssey to the confines of ancient Egypt. Spectacular, this crazy digital epic goes back in time, resurrecting before our eyes the golden era of the Pharaohs, from King Khufu to the great Ramses II, including the sovereign of all superlatives Tutankhamun. Here, the myths seem to wake up from a long sleep, the pyramids rise to the sky, while the grains of sand naturally turn into gold powder... After the calm, comes the storm. The Nile is ablaze, the temples are covered with enigmatic hieroglyphs, the grandiose architecture of the obelisks crushes us when the bust of the beautiful Nefertari looks down on us from all its height. Time stops. After revealing the tombs and sarcophagi of the eternal kings, our expedition reaches its goal at the gates of the beyond. To masterful music by Hans Zimmer, the secrets of the Valley of the Queens soon close in on us, putting an end to our waking dream.
