Bust of Queen Nefertiti

One of Ancient Egypt’s most famous works of art. A prime example of ancient artistry, this icon has been called “the most beautiful woman in the world”. Hypnotizing audiences since it went on display in 1923, the statue gives insight into the enigmatic queen and continues to generate controversy and debate in art and politics.



From the studio of sculptor Thutmose at Tell el-Amarna, ca. 1345 BC. Now in the Egyptian Museum of Berlin.
