The theme of the course varies from a year to the other ("From Akhenaten to Tutankhamun, or the Atenist Episod", "Arts and powers at the time of Hatshepsut and Thutmosis III", "The Theban Necropolis in the 18th Dynasty", "Portrait in Ancient Egyptian Art", "Creation and function of Ancient Egyptian image", ...) and will be on display a few weeks before the beginning of the seminar.
The course might be given in English, in part or entirely.
