The exhibition of the ancient Egyptian Art from the 15. century B.C., National Museum in Warsaw, 20th November 1997-20th February 1998. Objects from the German collections and from the National Museum in Warsaw. The exhibition was conceived by the Professor Dietrich Wildung, director of the Egyptian Museum in Berlin. Asked for a loan of the Egyptian monuments, he suggested that particular period because of the long time of the Polish activity at Deir ei-Bahari, Egypt, where already in 1961 the team of experts from the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology in Cairo, headed by the famous Kazimierz Michałowski, commenced the study, restoration and excavations in the terraced tempie of an Egyptian Queen Hatshepsut. At the same time an unexpected discovery of the hitherto unknown tempie of Tuthmosis III was made in the close proximity of that of Hatshepsut. The exhibition was concerned with these two main figures of the period and contemporary works of art. The royal portraits, reliefs from the temples and tombs were displayed, as well as the statues of the dignitaries of both rulers. A maquette of Deir el-Bahari with its temples was included, and rich photographic material illustrating the restoration works in the temple of Hatshepsut and the excavations and finds from the newly uncovered temple of Tuthmosis III.
