"To draw from the collections, for the instruction of the public, the teaching they contain and [...] to train curators, missionaries and excavators [...]". This was the aim of the Ecole du Louvre when it was founded in 1882 and it is this tradition, still alive, which nourishes the subject of this conference, organized in 2015. It aimed to bring together researchers, working in both the academic and museum worlds, who favor "the object" as a support for their studies. This reflection was divided into four themes allowing to consider different aspects of Egyptology from a primarily "material" point of view: "From one world to another: interpreting a civilization", "The making of classifications: building a corpus", "From site to collections: in search of the lost context" and "Techniques and materials: returning to the sources". These thematic sessions encouraged a diverse range of speakers, also giving a large place to young researchers, doctoral students, and young doctors, in accordance with the policy of the École du Louvre. This publication reflects the content of these stimulating and varied discussions.
