| Welcome
to The Metropolitan Museum of Art's online exploration of the art
of ancient Egypt. Selected works of art from the Museum's extensive
Egyptian art collection have been brought together to form a dynamic
and content-rich resource for educators, students, and general viewers.

 |
This resource
has been created to provide an understanding of ancient Egyptian art
and its central role in Egyptian civilization. It is primarily organized
around three Themes–"Ancient
Egyptian Beliefs," "Looking at Egyptian Art," and "The
Story of the Collection"–that group objects and historical
ideas into questions and answers. You can also browse the 4,000-year
Timeline
to explore the information chronologically, or the index of forty
Objects featured from the Museum's
collection. Resources
and Curriculum
Connections sections are designed to help educators
integrate the art of ancient Egypt into their classrooms. |

This site is based on
the Museum's "The Art of Ancient Egypt: A Resource for Educators,"
which may be purchased in the online Met
Store. This resource features forty slides, a poster, and interpretive
material parallel in content to this site, but presented in an entirely
different style and format.
