Egyptian Art Gallery

The Egyptian Gallery, part of the Susan B. and Mark A. Susz Galleries, provides a permanent home for the exquisite funerary objects of the Ancient Egyptian noblewoman Meretites. BNIM worked closely with museum exhibition design staff and Italian fabricators to develop casework to accommodate the extreme conservation requirements of the collection. The gallery ceiling is a modern interpretation of the coffered ceilings found in the original building. The exterior walls of the Museum, which define the galleries, were bolstered with new insulation and a moisture barrier, preserving the collection and improving the performance of the Museum’s operations.
