Detail from the boat model.
Small model boats were often found in the tomb furnishing of the First Intermediate Period and the Middle Kingdom. They symbolized the Egyptian river landscape and everyday life on the banks of the Nile as well as the pilgrimage to Abydos, the place of worship of Osiris, the god of death.

Detail from the statue that 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.

Fragment of a water clock.
The function of the water clocks was based on water that was poured in to the container and would trickle out from a hole in the bottom. An hour scale was engraved on the inside. The scale made it possible to measure the passing of time - as the water surface descended, it would reach an hour mark at regular intervals.
Ptolemaic period.

"American Bill Viola (b. 1951) is one of the most acclaimed video and installation artists of our time. Over the course of his forty-five-year career, Viola has created an emotionally expressive body of work informed by art history, culture and religion. His works explore key themes of human existence: birth, life and death, and spirituality.
Bill Viola: Inner Journey presents twelve works from the artist’s later period 1994–2015 and the video game The Night Journey, a collaboration between Bill Viola Studio and USC Game Innovation Lab. Alongside large immersive projections, the exhibition features serene installations of people lying submerged in water, intense expressions of spiritual rebirth, as well as smaller, intimate works that portray emotions and inner states.
Metaphors of journeying and water recur throughout the exhibition. Viola often refers to life as an endless journey. Moving through darkened exhibition spaces, you encounter evocative works that express and ponder different layers of consciousness and stages of human life, and what it means to exist and to have existed. Viola uses metaphors and visual language such as light and darkness, water and fire, to create open-ended works that reach towards the unknown, bringing visitors into a personal, reflective experience."
Soles of a mummy´s foot case.
Images of bound enemies can be found under the throne of the ancient Egyptian kings and on the soles of the sandals. In this way they symbolically crushed their enemies with each step.
In the Late Period, the motif spread among the ordinar Egyptians. The underside of the mummy´s foot case began to be decorated with a sole of linen or cartonage with images of tied captivities, so that they too could squash their own enemies in the afterlife.

After its annual flooding, the Nile was rich in fish, which provided the Egyptians with food. This wall relief illustrates a fishing scene, with five men using nets under the direction of a supervisor placed at the centre of the relief. Nets were very common being particularly well suited for marshy areas. Depictions usually showed the last moment in fishing when the men hauled on the cords of the net and drew up the fish.

Nuorten nousevaa taidetta oli esillä Amos Andersonin taidemuseolla Yrjönkadulla 3. syyskuuhun 2017 saakka.
Generation 2017 -näyttelyssä esiteltiin 15–23-vuotiaiden taidetta. Näyttelyyn osallistuvat 42 taiteilijaa valittiin avoimen teoshaun kautta yli tuhannen ehdotuksen joukosta. Teokset käsittelevät tuoreella tavalla omaa ympäristöään ja yhteiskunnan ilmiöitä – asioita ja tunteita, jotka he kokevat merkityksellisiksi.
Taiteen mahdollisuudet ovat rajattomat, mutta samalla taiteilijat joutuvat tekemään alituiseen valintoja esimerkiksi tekniikkaan tai teemaan liittyen. Generationin taiteilijoiden hahmotellessa niin omia kuin teostensa rajoja yleisöllä on tilaisuus tutkia, miten muuttumattomina, mutta samanaikaisesti uudistuneina taiteen moninaiset muodot ja aiheet tulevat näyttelyssä esiin.
Baanalle syntyi taiteilija Emilio Mäkipään teos osana Generation näyttelyä. Baanan maalaamista on valmisteltu yhteistyössä Helsingin taidemuseo HAMin, Kiasman, Amos Andersonin taidemuseoiden kanssa.

New Years´s Flask.
During the 18th Dynasty, it became common practice to present bottles like this as gifts during new year celebrations. The flasks originally designed as perfume bottles were filled with the water of the Nile on the first day of the year and often engraved with hieroglyphs wishing a happy new year.

Black topped jar.
This jar moulded from the black clay of the Nile is a typical product of the Predynastic Period. Pottery jars were among the most common everyday objects found in both burial sites and residences. That is why many prehistoric discoveries have been successfully dated based on the various forms and styles of pottery.
This jar originates from the Naqada I or II Period over 5000 years ago. The red colour of the jar emerges when the clay reacts to heat during the firing process. The top of the jar is buried in sand during the firing, which prevents the colour from changing.
