Expo: Expedition Egypt
"Expedition Egypt" narrates the story of two centuries of archaeological discoveries and the development of the Egyptian collection of the art & history museum. In the nineteenth century, Belgian diplomatic and industrial circles showed a lively interest in the history of Egypt, which occupied an important place in international politics and economy. In the early twentieth century the Egyptologist Jean Capart played an invaluable role in the enlargement of the collection and the development of scientific research.

It was principally organised by astronomer and statistician Adolphe Quetelet, who envisioned a standardisation of European units of measurement to facilitate collaborative research between nations.
