Osiris
Little Children’s Book

For the exhibition ‘Osiris – Egypt’s Sunken Mysteries’ at the Museum Rietberg in Zurich I could illustrate a little children’s book. The book is supposed to make the exhibition more accessible for children. It is full of information about the exhibited pieces, the myth of Osiris, as well as the discovery of the sunken cities Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus. There are a lot of riddles in the book. And it comes with a pencil, a blue colour filter, and a bunch of stickers and tattoos.
