Welcome, fellow Curious Wanderers. The Temple of Dendur is a Roman Egyptian religious structure that was originally located on an ancient site south of Aswan in the West Bank of the Nile, near the border between Egypt and the Sudan.

"Color the Temple", shown here, is a digital projection tool that beams light onto the side of the now beige walls of the Temple of Dendur, digitally restoring its original vivid painted colors. "Color the Temple" is on display in the Sackler Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York City

In 1965, the Arab Republic of Egypt offered Dendur to the United States. Ultimately, Lyndon B. Johnson awarded the Temple to the Met in 1967. After being transported to the United States, the Temple was rebuilt in the newly constructed Sackler Wing and opened to the public on September 27, 1978. It has become one of the most beloved pieces at the Met.

Very cool to see in person. :)

Fun fact This Temple of Dendur Sackler Wing is also a well-known filming location, featured in the famously improvised Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan "would you like pecan pie" scene. The characters of Harry and Sally were visiting this very Temple of Dendur room when Sally told Harry she had a date later than night.

Even when people forget, our places remember for us—if you know where to look. :)

Love, from the Daily Penny
