On the occasion of the bicentenary of the deciphering of hieroglyphs by Jean-François Champollion (1790-1832), the Château de Compiègne presents and highlights its precious Egyptian vase B also known as Egyptian Champollion. This jewel of his collections made in Sèvres from drawings provided by the father of Egyptology allows, by gathering around him some bronzes and porcelains accompanied by some publications of the famous Egyptologist, to evoke the deciphering of hieroglyphic writing by the latter in 1822.
Until 19 September in the Council Chamber
