The Met Celebrates Temple of Dendur Anniversary on April 15 with a Day of Activities |
 |
|
| Join us in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the award of The Temple of Dendur to The Met in a day filled with special offerings and activities. One of the Museum's most iconic and best-loved works of art, the temple was built of sandstone in around 15 B.C. and rescued during the 1960–80 UNESCO Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia. A gift of Egypt to the United States, it was awarded to The Met by President Lyndon B. Johnson in April 1967. It is now located in The Sackler Wing at The Met. Families will enjoy Art Trek, a tour aimed at young visitors (ages 7–11) and their adult companions. The new Family Guide: Explore The Temple of Dendur—a full-color brochure available at no charge at the Museum's information desks—will help young visitors continue the exploration on their own. |
| Visitors of all ages will have several opportunities to learn more about ancient Egyptian art. Museum curators and a conservator will lead a series of 15-minute pop-up talks about The Temple of Dendur and will be on hand to answer questions from the public. Presented throughout the day will be Color the Temple, an experimental display that, through lights, suggests how the temple originally appeared 2,000 years ago. Access fascinating facts and useful information about The Temple of Dendur from the Museum's Audio Guide on The Met app. New essays about various aspects of the temple are included in a special 50th-anniversary feature on The Met website. Moments from the temple's recent history will be featured in a slide presentation. Finally, in the evening at the Great Hall Balcony Bar, the Nile Sunset—a specialty cocktail with a Temple of Dendur theme—will be available for purchase. Featuring fig vodka, pomegranate, elderflower, lemon, and sparkling wine, the cocktail's two predominant flavors reference favored fruits from ancient Egypt. |
