“Best known work of Egypt's finest Modern and Contemporary Sculptors”

May 2013

Egypt's Renaissance is a beautiful sculputure in granite located opposite the Giza Zoo. A beautiful sculpture by Mahmoud Mokhtar and an important part of Egyptian modern heritage representing Egypt's transformation after the 1919 revolution. What is particularly interesting is the reliance on ancient Egyptian trends in sculptures thus taking an ancient art into the 20th century. If this sculpture interests you then a visit to the Mahmoud Mokhtar museum would be worth your while
