Earlier this month, Prof. Thomas Schneider from the Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU) donated nearly 1,500 volumes of important materials on ancient Egyptian culture and archaeological research to the Department of Art and Design of the University of Macau, covering books, documents, papers and journals, The donation will greatly enhance the quality of our research work. These materials will greatly enhance our students’ understanding of ancient Egyptian culture and archaeology, and provide them with more diverse cultural inspirations in their future creative processes.
