Divine Egypt Coloring Book
An art coloring book makes a perfect gift.
The deities of ancient Egypt were depicted in a multitude of different forms that reflected their diverse roles within myth and religious beliefs. This extraordinary coloring book features new original drawings of deities accompanied by hieroglyphs detailing their names and important epithets. All drawings were made by Sara Chen, and the texts were researched and arranged by Brendan Hainline, both from The Met's Department of Egyptian Art. Together, Hainline, a researcher with expertise in Egyptian language and religion, and Chen, a draftsperson and excavation artist, have developed a fun and enriching Museum coloring book for all ages.
We're pleased to present this item in celebration of the Museum's exhibition Divine Egypt, on view from October 12, 2025, through January 19, 2026. In ancient Egypt, images of gods weren't just images—they brought the gods to life. Egyptians believed that it was through their depictions in tombs, temples, and shrines that the deities could enter sacred spaces and become active participants in rituals, offering a vital connection between the human and divine worlds. Over Egypt's long history, its belief system grew to include more than 1,500 gods with many overlapping forms and traits. Subtle visual cues like what a figure wore, how they posed, or the symbols they carried helped identify them and their roles. Divine Egypt brings together almost 250 works of art and objects to examine the imagery associated with the most important deities in ancient Egypt's massive body of gods.
