NEW: Egyptian collections during covid-19 lockdown
CIPEG is interested in collecting information about the ongoing activities in museums during this prolonged period of lockdown. It would be important to receive brief reports on your Egyptian collections so as to understand which strategies have been developed to virtually link people to your museums and how you are moving on. We would like to summarize and publish these experiences in our e-News or CIPEG Journal. You can send your reports to: Tine Bagh (tiba[at]glyptoteket.dk); Daniela Picchi (daniela.picchi[at]comune.bologna.it); Denise Doxey (DDoxey[at]mfa.org).
