Members see “Maverick Kings: Three Visionary Pharaohs of Egypt’s Golden Age” before it opens to the public!

Drawing primarily from the MFA’s extensive collection of ancient Egyptian art—one of the largest and most important in the world—the exhibition explores the lives and legacies of Hatshepsut, Amenhotep III, and Akhenaten through their art and own words. Engage with major monuments to Hatshepsut, including the only royal sarcophagus from the 18th Dynasty outside of Egypt; large statues of deities in animal form, a style characteristic of Amenhotep III’s reign; and a sculpted portrait of Akhenaten’s son, Tutankhamen, who restored the cults of the old gods.
