An Ancient Queen Is Ready for Her Close-Up

BERLIN | If the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten, who reigned about 3500 years ago, were alive today, he’d probably be pretty proud of his wife.
The iconic bust of Nefertiti, the pharaoh’s powerful spouse who was considered the most beautiful woman in the world in her time, is the clear celebrity participant at the Altes Museum’s “Restoring the Archaeological Treasures” exhibit here (Altes Museum, Am Lustgarten 1, Mitte, Berlin; 49-30-2090-5577).
During a recent visit to the exhibit, a long line formed around the queen — whose mummy may have recently been found — to let everyone have the opportunity to take a photograph side by side with the ancient figure, though she’s sealed inside a box of clear glass on the museum’s upper floor.
The “Berlin Green Head”, a mysterious bust that dates from around 400 to 500 B.C., is among other notable works displayed in this special exhibit, organized by the museum’s Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection. (The exhibit continues through June 1.)

As its name indicates, “Restoring the Archaeological Treasures” focuses on the conservation and restoration of archaeological artifacts from the collections of Berlin’s various national museums. Olivia Zorn, deputy–director of the Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection, said the comprehensive presentation of this broad subject area will be divided into sections focusing on a number of core fields.
“These include excavation, conservation, restoration, materials and function analysis, cultural historical research and preventive conservation,“ Ms. Zorn explained.
During the exhibit, conservators and scientists will introduce their work on about 75 different restoration projects. “The search for clues to an object’s history is multifaceted,” said Ms. Zorn, “and requires close cooperation between conservators, archaeologists and natural scientists and this work forms the basis of the concept for the exhibition.”
The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is 8 euros (and free of charge every Thursday).
