Step into the reign of three rule-breaking pharaohs—Hatshepsut, Amenhotep III, and Akhenaten—through the MFA’s own vast Egyptian holdings, plus loans from the Met, Berlin, Cleveland, and Fort Worth. See Hatshepsut’s rare royal sarcophagus, a towering falcon deity, and a portrait of Tutankhamen, all framed by contemporary works from Awol Erizku that show ancient imagery’s lasting pull. It’s a sharp look at how these kings crafted their public images to hold power—and how we still do the same today.
