Musée de Cluny | Accueil E2N - actualité Louvre Création du département d'Antiquités égyptiennes La création d'un département d'antiquités égyptiennes au Louvre n'est pas la conséquence directe de l'expédition de Bonaparte en Égypte entre 1798 et 1801. Les antiquités recueillies alors par les savants furent saisies par les Anglais comme butin de guerre ; parmi elles, la célèbre Pierre de Rosette aujourd'hui à Londres. Un petit nombre d'œuvres rapportées à titre privé entrèrent au Louvre bien plus tard. En revanche, la publication du livre de souvenirs de Vivant Denon en 1802, Voyage dans la Haute et la Basse Égypte, et des volumes de la Description de l'Égypte, par les membres scientifiques de l'expédition, entre 1810 et 1830, réactive l'intérêt pour l'Égypte ancienne au cours du premier quart du 19e siècle, plus profondément que le goût superficiel qui s'était manifesté dans le mobilier à partir de la fin du règne de Louis XVI. Jean-François Champollion, né avec le siècle, grandit dans cette atmosphère. Constitution de la collection
