The Essence of the Nile

This collection of Egyptian art belonging to Jordi Clos includes some 1,000 pieces from the time of the Egyptian pharaohs, and offers a journey through the different periods of one of the most prolific and mysterious civilisations of ancient times. The 2,000 square-metre facility comprises three museum rooms, five training rooms, a temporary exhibition hall and a specialised library. Visitors will find everyday items (crafts and cosmetic items), as well as articles connected with beliefs and funeral practices.
