2025 Poster Session

Abstract

The process of conservation of museum exhibits is an important step that precedes the display of museum objects, and the storytelling of those exhibits is one of the most important methods of interpreting them and conveying the message of the museum objects. Therefore, the researcher, in cooperation with the conservator, who conservated the statue of Sekhmet, collected the necessary information related to the conservation of the object. The researcher also cooperated with archaeological colleagues to collect archaeological and historical information about Sekhmet. 

Then, the researcher created a simple digital narrative model about one of the museum objects that will be displayed in the Grand Egyptian Museum. The story presented by the researcher is a short story of five and a half minutes about the statue of Sekhmet. The researcher made an imaginary drawing of the place and the story in a simplified and interesting manner. Likewise, the researcher put a part about the conservation process and told the story of the exhibit, Sekhmet, to measure the ease of applying this by making a story about conservation a palatable and simple process that the visitor understands and loves, making him eager for more stories and wanting to return to visit the museum again.
