The Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona began offering Egyptian language and history classes in 1992. It is now commemorating 30 years since the beginning of these studies with an exhibition on the University's contributions to Egyptology through teaching and research, which has led to the training of specialists from all around Spain and has also contributed to reaching some important milestones. This anniversary coincides with two important feats in Egyptology: 200 years since the hieroglyphics were successfully deciphered, and 100 years since the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, which will also form part of the exhibition.

"Beyond Tutankhamon. 30 Years of Egyptology at the UAB" will be on display from 3 November to 20 December, Mondays to Fridays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., at the Exhibitions Hall of the UAB Communication Library and General Newspaper Archives.
