Museum of Mariemont, Belgium and Professor at the Royal Institute
for History of Art and Archaeology, Brussels.
... this volume gathers a number of little-known stories behind the
formation, interpretation and display of collections of Egyptian
artefacts. [...] This volume thus fits well within and increasing
consciousness of the random routes by which collections appear -
asking us to reconsider constructions of 'ancient Egypt' based on
such idiosyncratic material'
