1990–1991: Egypt – Search for Immortality (also: Search for Immortality – Cult of the Dead and Belief in the Beyond in Ancient Egypt) Since the Roemer and Pelizaeus Museum in Hildesheim suffered from great space problems, only parts of the collection could be opened to the public. The permanent exhibition was therefore sporadically supplemented by thematic special exhibitions. This exhibition was organized by the curator Bettina Schmitz. Artifacts were compiled from the stock of magazines, which were connected with the partly quite different beyond conceptions and the different cults of the dead. The catalogue lists 38 partly high-class and multi-part exhibits. These include mummies, mummies masks, sarcophagi and coffins, amulets, grave reliefs, Ushebti figures, canopies, representations of gods of the dead in various forms and a book of the dead. The catalogue was completed by excerpts from Egyptian death books. The exhibition also included copies of the murals from the Tomb of the Night made by the American Egyptologist Norman de Garis Davies between 1907 and 1910, but these are not listed in the catalogue. They were first shown in Europe as part of the exhibition by the owner, the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
