December 20 (Wed) Unpacking of objects
While many people are watching the Tutankhamun’s chariot and textiles transported from the Egyptian Archaeology Museum and unpacked at GEM-CC. Egyptians and Japanese, everyone on the spot, concentrate on the boxes at the moment of opening them. Conservators check the condition of the object as soon as it was opened to confirm its condition. Mr. Masuda and Tokuda of transportation team always conduct professional work which never neglects the details while Mr. Eissa directing the transportation team and his team concentrate on the work. Unpacking work progressed smoothly and successfully with a superb team play among the transportation team, conservators and curators.
