The Australian tour of the Discovering Ancient Egypt exhibition is a partnership between the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, Queensland Museum, the National Museum of Australia and the Western Australian Museum.
The exhibition is supported by the Australian Government International Exhibitions Insurance (AGIEI) Program. The program provides funding for the purchase of insurance for significant cultural exhibitions. Without AGIEI, the high cost of insuring significant cultural items would prohibit this major exhibition from touring to Australia.
