PORTLAND ART MUSEUM
1219 SW Park Avenue Portland, OR 97205 | Directions 503-226-2811 | General info The museum has a very important collection of over 1,350 Ancient Egyptian scarabs, stamps and seals. As of February 2018, they have just completed a year-long project with the aid of local Egyptologist, John Sarr of cataloging and digitizing these artifacts. Click link below for more information: Rediscovery of Museum Egyptian Scarab Collection John Sarr is founding president of the Oregon chapter of the American Research Center in Egypt. "Sarr rediscovered PAM’s collection when he moved to Portland in the 1990s and—realizing the collection’s significance from its history and content—set about to document the collection by creating a catalog of drawings of each item. This work led to the public display of approximately 100 scarabs during the Museum’s 1998 exhibition, Splendors of Ancient Egypt. Although PAM’s scarab collection is one of the oldest collections at the Museum—having been accessioned in 1929—and a significant collection in the Egyptological field, it has been little understood and documented over the years." |
The Fish motif is very common in Egyptian art.
