The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, your full name, is presented as a set of collections result of acquisitions made over four centuries and findings in the excavations of the Italian Archaeological Mission between 1900 and 1935, which brought Italy a substantial part thereof, as used to be common at the time.

Due to the enormous interest aroused by collecting Egyptian antiquities in 1824 King Charles Felix of Sardinia, joining the collection of a Paduan Egyptologist, Vitaliano Donati and the ancient remains of the Savoy family, she gave birth to the museum, the first in the world. A few years earlier, after the Napoleonic campaigns in Egypt, it was Drovetti Bernardino, Piedmont and Consul General of France during the occupation of Egypt, which collected over 8,000 items: sarcophagi, mummies, papyri, obelisks and statues.

If you are of great importance mummies and representations of sacred animals linked to the worship of the gods, ornaments and utensils of work that have come to us they have allowed to reconstruct with precision the daily lives of these people and their pharaohs during the ancient Egypt, to the point that Jean-François Champollion, the translator of the Rosetta Stone, said: "the road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin."

Among the most important remains are intact tomb of Kha and Merit and rock Ellesija Temple, however, from the historical point of view, the most important perhaps is the Canon Real, known as Royal Turin Papyrus, one of the most important sources on the succession of Egyptian rulers in which is listed in hieratic script, the successor, age and years of reign. Also impressive are the statues of the goddesses Isis and Sekhmet and that of Ramses II discovered by Vitaliano Donati in the temple of the goddess Mut at Karnak.

Napoleonic Museum

Scholars from France, Canada, USA, England, Poland and Russia, among other countries, traveled to Cuba to attend the event for the first time based in America and living what for many has been a great adventure: to know the Napoleonic Museum Havana, created in 1961, but apparently recently discovered off the island, after its restoration and reopening in 2011, details the journalist Anett Rios cable Efe.

The museum has a vast library and more than 10,000 pieces of the Napoleonic period, to which is attributed a millionaire value, including relics like the original death mask of Bonaparte and the gold watch that marked his last hours of life.
Other objects of the emperor also stand out: a jacket, a cocked hat and spyglass used in Santa Elena, who carried two pistols for shooting in Moscow in 1812, a lamp that gave Josephine, a lock of hair and a molar.
Princess Napoleon, widow of Luis Marie Bonaparte, Prince Napoleon, a descendant of King Jerome, the younger brother of Bonaparte attended in 2011 at the reopening of the museum and donated part of dinnerware to give "testimony of esteem" of his family by that institution.
Three years later, the International Napoleonic Society (INS, for its acronym in English), based in Montreal and dedicated to promoting and sponsoring academic studies of Napoleon and his time, Cuba believes that contact and specialists is equivalent to the "discovery of a treasure unknown".
"Why did it take so long? Because no one made it happen. Cuba is full of silent treasures. Cubans know them well, but they could always be better promoted in the world, "admitted Dalla Bona.
The director of the Napoleonic Museum, Sadys Sánchez, believes that this kind of "boom" is the result of the painstaking restoration of the building and the collection, a process by the Office of the Historian of Havana, which lasted five years.

"(The collection) is the most important in Latin America from an institutional point of view. There are private collections, but this is the most important open to the public, "said Sanchez.
Much of what exhibited belonged to the millionaire disappeared Julio Lobo, tycoon of the sugar industry, considered the richest man in Cuba when the revolution triumphed in 1959 and spent part of his fortune to purchase parts related to Napoleon in auction houses Europe and the United States.
Although Lobo heritage is the focus of this type of collecting on the island, there are "many Napoleonic memorabilia" in other parts of the country, private collections and museums still studying pieces that surprise the researchers said Cuban historian Ernesto Alvarez.
In the province of Matanzas, Alvarez explains, a fragment of the slab that covered the remains of Napoleon on St. Helena Bonaparte and a bust of the famous sculptor Antonio Canova is treasured.
Several objects bequeathed Juan Bautista Leclerc, a painter born in Matanzas and raised in France, who fled with his possessions in Europe to the island and hid in a plantation of his family to know that purchased parts for its Napoleonic collection they had been stolen from cabinet medals King's Library in Paris and the police were after them, she tells Alvarez.
"There are many individuals associated with Napoleon who lived here and are still studying (...) They came to Cuba fleeing processes such as the French and Napoleonic revolutions, settled, and objects brought back memories," he said.
The historian says that even Napoleon's Imperial Guard died in Matanzas, and his remains were found in the city museum.

From these figures, the most important was undoubtedly that of Francois Antommarchi, doctor of Napoleon and who, after dying this one in Santa Elena, returned to France and from there traveled to Cuba, where he moved to study yellow fever, of which he died.

The National Museum of Modern Art Centre Georges Pompidou, also known as Beaubourg Center or simply as Pompidou Center, is located in the heart of Paris, between the neighborhoods of Les Halles and Le Marais and not far from City Hall (Hotel de Ville).

Rue Saint-Martin, passing in front of the main entrance of the museum, is one of the oldest in Paris, with over 2000 years of existence. This area since the Middle Ages attracted many bankers and traders who settled there forming the Beau Bourg, something like "beautiful neighborhood," an elite neighborhood in full swing traders.
With the passage of time and in the nineteenth, the Beaubourg a poor area where a lot of humble people became congested. By the early twentieth century and considering unhealthy, the neighborhood was razed. So, for 40 years before the construction of the Centre Pompidou it worked in a parking place.

President Georges Pompidou, lover of the arts, who was promoted in 1970 the idea of ​​creating a place in the old Beaubourg that would meet the contemporary arts, and this opened an architectural competition, after a selection among 681 projects from 49 countries, said yes to the idea of ​​Renzo Piano, Gianfranco Franchini (both Italian) and Richard Rogers (English).

The idea was for other modern and daring; an absolutely modern set, with metallic structures and vivid colors that reveal everything you normally want to hide: pipes, ducts and heating service, stairs, etc.
The building is a huge rectangular prism of 166 meters long by 60 wide and 42 deep, with facades of glass and metal structure which is fully visible. On the east facade, back on the Rue du Renard, the blue-painted pipes red, green, yellow, or are, as air transport, water, electricity or act as service elevators or stairs. Large white chimneys that appear on the square in front of the museum are underground ventilation ducts as well as those that are on the roof.

The west facade, on the Rue Saint-Martin, is traversed diagonally by a staircase transparent mechanism that provides access to the various levels of the museum while providing a view of Paris as it rises. 

Behind the staircase is circular walkways that allow the facade as a balcony.
The result of this type of construction allowed free inside any structure that could disturb the organization of space in the museum and any subsequent amendments. And 7 levels (including basement and terrace) of 7500 m2 square were obtained. During the renovation works that were made between 1998 and 1999 the museum could be completely transformed inside without touching any supporting structure.

The Pompidou Centre was built between 1972 and 1977, was inaugurated by President Giscard d'Estaing on 31 January 1977.

The truth is that the center, which was scheduled for 5000 visits daily received up to 5 times, and since its opening passed through it 150 million visitors.
In the Georges Pompidou Center Public Information Library (BPI), one of its main attractions, as well as various showrooms of modern and contemporary art, the Gallery of Children (a space for adults and children with workshops of expression and works samples awareness creation), cinemas, discussion and lecture, shows and concerts.
