Please join us for a book celebration with Peter Der Manuelian, Barbara Bell Professor of Egyptology and Director of the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East.

In a brief conversation based on his new biography, Professor Der Manuelian will discuss the life and work of America’s greatest Egyptian archaeologist, George Reisner (1867–1942). Living most of his life at “Harvard Camp” just behind the famous Giza Pyramids, Reisner’s 43 years of breathtakingly successful HU–MFA Expedition seasons at 23 different archaeological sites in Egypt and Sudan included pyramids, colossal statues, gold jewelry, decorated tomb chapels, temples, settlements, fortresses, ceramics, furniture, stone vessels, and hieroglyphic inscriptions everywhere.

Enjoy refreshments, explore rare archival materials, and listen to colorful stories about a fascinating life!
