In Support of Christian Greco, Director of the Museo Egizio, following Recent Political Attacks by the Italian Far Right

Ignobile provocazione, fiera reazione, paese allo sbando. Bravo Direttore!

A very said day for Italy.

So, we have the ignorant targeting a museum for attempting to make knowledge and culture accessible to all? Shows how little these bigots know about the purpose of muesums.

Wonderful Museum. Excellent work by Dr. Greco.

Italy has a treasure in the Turin Egyptian Museum and in Dr. Christian Greco. Betsy Bryan, Vice Dean for Humanities and Social Sciences, Johns Hopkins University

Fabulous museum, long may it expand its reach.

Support Dr. Greco and the museum!

For the arab speakers of turin and those in pursuit of scientific excellence

Je soutiens ses initiatives.

I stand in solidarity and support with the efforts being made to cater to Arabic-speaking patrons of the Museo Egizio, and I stand firmly opposed to the smear campaign and intimidation against its director and those who are striving to make the museum accessible to everyone.

Grande Christian!

Massimo supporto, ma "non ti curar di loro..."

I visited the Egizio 2 years ago and it is the best museum I have ever visited. The work Greco has done and is doing has brought the museum into the modern era and he should be praised and celebrated for it.

It's crazy! Anciens Aegyptians were Arabs, ans the museum had many pieces from Aegypt. But the extrem right is crazy.

The ancient Egyptian world is vastly interesting and beautiful in its religion, culture, art, literature, architecture and innumerable other ways. To exclude those whose cultural history is told through these surviving artefacts and materials is disgusting beyond measure. To deny that the items on display (and not on display) are from an Arabic country and to exclude and speak against those from these areas is atrocious. I commend the museum as both a student of Egyptology and a person who believes in education having no boundaries or borders.

Dr Christian Greco and the Museo Egizio are to be commended for their leadership and efforts to make the Museum’s collections accessible to everyone, particularly Egyptians and other Arabic-speakers. Sharing their incredible collections more widely can only be commended, especially since those objects originated outside of Italy. Those who seek to restrict access through intimidation and abuse only demonstrate their selfish close-mindedness.

Solo un dialogo culturale può avvicinare, aiutare a comprendere altre mentalità.

En souhaitant que perdure, en Italie comme dans d'autres pays, une indépendance entre le travail dans le domaine culturel, et la reconnaissance de sa qualité, et le pouvoir politique, quel qu'il soit. Mais c'est peut-être une utopie?...

Keep up the great work! All your colleagues support you!
