But the entire circuit will only be completed after 1998, the year scheduled for the reorganisation of the last section housing Roman, Judaic and Christian Near Eastern art, as well as Nubian art. These spaces were previously closed to the public. Funerary art of Roman Egypt has been installed in Napoleon III's former stables. The Coptic rooms moved into the premises of the Ecole du Louvre, when it was transferred to the Flore Wing, near the Carrousel. The mummy of Padijmenipet is exhibited beside its coffin adorned with signs of the zodiac.
Several works have undergone restoration.
Coptic art denotes pagan and Christian art in Egypt from the 3rd century AD onwards. It originated in a pagan world, strongly influenced by Roman Egyptian art. The gallery of Coptic art adopts a chronological and thematic presentation policy. Once the amphitheatre of the Ecole du Louvre, this room now houses a reconstitution of the monastery church at Baouit. The sculpted wood and limestone decor from one of the monastery churches has been erected on a concrete structure to give the visitor an idea of the building's original size.
