اِفْتَتَحَتْ سِفارَةُ الْمِكْسِيكِ فِي الْقاهِرَةِ مَعْرِضَ «الْمَخْطوطاتِ الْمِكْسِيكِيَّةِ: الذَّاكِرَةُ وَالْمَعْرِفَةُ» فِي قاعَةِ صَلاحِ طاهِرٍ بِدارِ الْأُوبِرا الْمِصْرِيَّةِ. وَيَسْتَمِرُّ الْمَعْرِضُ حَتَّى ٣١ أُغُسْطُسَ ٢٠٢٦.
يُشاهِدُ الزُّوّارُ نُسَخًا مِنْ مَخْطوطاتٍ مُصَوَّرَةٍ قَديمَةٍ. صَنَعَتْها شُعوبُ الْمِكْسِيكِ الْأَصْلِيَّةُ لِتَسْجيلِ التّاريخِ وَالْمَعْرِفَةِ. وَفيها صُوَرٌ وَأَلْوانٌ وَرُموزٌ تُساعِدُ عَلى نَقْلِ الْمَعْلوماتِ مِنْ جيلٍ إِلى جيلٍ.
تَحْتاجُ الْمَخْطوطاتُ الْأَصْلِيَّةُ إِلى عِنايَةٍ خاصَّةٍ، لِأَنَّها نادِرَةٌ وَهَشَّةٌ. لِذٰلِكَ تَعْرِضُ الْقاعَةُ نُسَخًا مِنْها. وَنَظَّمَتِ السِّفارَةُ الْمَعْرِضَ مَعَ الْمَعْهَدِ الْوَطَنِيِّ لِلْأَنْثْروبولوجيا وَالتّاريخِ فِي الْمِكْسِيكِ وَوِزارَةِ الثَّقافَةِ الْمِصْرِيَّةِ. وَيُظْهِرُ الْمَعْرِضُ أَهَمِّيَّةَ الصُّوَرِ وَالرُّموزِ فِي حِفْظِ ذاكِرَةِ الشُّعوبِ.

Mexican Codices Exhibition Opens in Cairo
The Mexican embassy in Cairo opened the exhibition “Mexican Codices: Memory and Knowledge” at the Salah Taher Gallery in the Cairo Opera House. The exhibition runs until August 31, 2026.
Visitors can see reproductions of old illustrated manuscripts. Mexico’s Indigenous peoples made them to record history and knowledge. They contain pictures, colours, and symbols that help pass information from one generation to another.
The original manuscripts need special care because they are rare and fragile. Therefore, the gallery displays reproductions of them. The embassy organized the exhibition with Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History and Egypt’s Ministry of Culture. The exhibition shows the importance of pictures and symbols in preserving peoples’ memory.
