Fragment of a wall relief.
The part of the wall relief shows that Seti II was not the original owner of the monument. In the cartouche, the name of the former king has been re-carved with the name of Seti II. There is also an overlapping hieroglyphic writing in the upper left corner of the relief. The old text has not been deleted, the new hieroglyphs have just been carved over it.
The practice of usurpation / reuse, where a king added his name to what was made by a former king, and replaced it with his own name, was common.
19th dynasty, from Deir el-Medina

"The Nest by Japanese sculptor Tadashi Kawamata is a two-part sculptural constellation constructed from reclaimed materials. Attaching itself to the Lasipalatsi (Glass Palace) building, the work is an alien presence in a familiar setting. Kawamata likens the installation to an avalanche of scrap crashing into the clean, white-washed facade of the 1930s functionalist building. Through subtle gestures and a play with scale the artist opens our eyes to the hidden potential in our surroundings.
Since the 1980s, Kawamata has carried out site-specific projects all over the world adding layers and structures to natural and urban spaces often in collaboration with local groups. For an annex to the Palace of Versailles, he created a waterfall of apple crates collected from local fruit vendors, and for Centre Pompidou he built makeshift wooden treehuts onto its iconic steel facade."
In the granite statue of Pharaoh Amenhotep II, the king is shown kneeling offering sacrificial gifts in nw vessels. Nw is the hieroglyph for the vessel used to offer wine or beer. The statue was probably originally in front of the statue of God, forever worshipping this god.

The statue represents a nomarch, whose duties were administrative, judicial, military and religious. During the First Intermediate Period, the nomarchs became so powerful that they won independence from the pharaoh and the aristocracy. The statue was made paying much attention to even the smallest details. However, there are still visible signs of scratches made when the eyes, probably precious stones, were forcibly removed from the face.
First Intermediate Period, no provenance.

Amos Rex is an art museum where the past, present and future meet.
A new private art museum with unique architecture was opened in central Helsinki at the end of August 2018.
Amos Rex is a meeting place for art and urban culture, consisting of new underground exhibition spaces, the old Lasipalatsi (glass palace) from 1936 and its Bio Rex cinema, as well as a vibrant event forum on Lasipalatsi Square, which will serve as the roof of the exhibition hall.
Opened in October 2020, an exhibition titled Egypt of Glory is shown in two parallel locations – at Amos Rex, Helsinki, and the Art Museum of Estonia’s Kumu Art Museum, Tallinn. The rare two-part exhibition is based on one of the most important collections of Ancient Egyptian art and culture outside Egypt – the collection of Museo Egizio in Turin, Italy.

When Pharaoh Amenhotep II ascended the throne, he inherited a vast kingdom from his father Thutmose III and held it by means of a few military campaigns in the Middle East. Amenhotep had a sizeable and powerful body: he was almost two meters tall, which was extremely unusual for the time. He was a skilled archer, rower and horseback rider, but his strength was also accompanied by remarkable cruelty against his enemies. Amenhotep II died quite young at the age of forty. His mummy was found inside his tomb in the Valley of the Kings along with his bow.
