Exhibitions

After research and restoration the encovered artifacts are included in public collections and/or touring exhibitions.

Therefore, some of the most remarkable of the objects discovered by IEASM are presented to the public in several museums in the Philippines, in Egypt, in Spain or in France.

In 2005, the Egyptian authorities have exceptionally gave permission for that nearly 500 objects to be shown abroad in the exhibition Egypt’s Sunken Treasures. For four years the exhibition has for four years toured major cities in Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Japan.

By the time it closed, the exhibition in the Grand Palais had attracted the highest number of visitors per day in the history of exhibitions in Paris. (on average 7,500 visitors per day).

A number of objects shown in Egypt’s Sunken Treasures have been included in a new exhibition in the USA: Cleopatra, The Search for the Last Queen of Egypt.

When this international tour ends, Egypt will exhibit these objects in a new museum which will be constructed partly underwater in the harbour of Alexandria. This project will be brought about in cooperation with the UNESCO which considers it to be «one of the global flagship projects of underwater archeology and an example to follow by the States».
