Met Museum to Stage Giacometti Show in Temple of Dendur This Summer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced a rare exhibition of Alberto Giacometti’s sculptures to be staged within the iconic Temple of Dendur this summer. Titled “Giacometti in the Temple of Dendur,” the show will feature 17 works, including "Walking Woman (I)" and "Women of Venice," marking a significant departure for the ancient Egyptian site which seldom hosts temporary exhibitions.

Giacometti Meets the Gods in the Met’s Temple of Dendur Show

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced a landmark exhibition titled "Giacometti in the Temple of Dendur," which will place the Swiss sculptor’s slender, modernist figures within the museum’s iconic 1st-century B.C.E. Egyptian temple. Opening in June, the show features fourteen loans from the Fondation Giacometti alongside works from the Met’s permanent collection, including the placement of "Walking Woman (I)" inside the temple’s offering hall to mimic ancient cult statuary.
