OBITUARIES
Jadwiga Lipihska
(1932-2009)
Professor Jadwiga Lipmska — Jagoda to us and Madame Goda to the Egyptians — was among Professor
Kazimierz Michalowski’s closest collaborators and, much like the Professor, she fulfilled her dedication to
Egyptology in three main fields: studies of the Egyptian collection held in the National Museum in
Warsaw, academic lecturing (,universities in Warsaw and Lodz) and research in Egypt.
At the National Museum in Warsaw Jadwiga Lipmska worked from 1958 until her retirement in
2002, starting out as a lowly assistant and reaching the top as a curator of the collection in 1991. It was
then also that she received the title of full professor, the highest in the Polish scholarly hierarchy. She
published many of the objects of ancient Egyptian art in the collection, organized many exhibitions,
including that all important one, The Mysterious Qiieen Hatshepsut, in 1997, and managed the
renovation ofthe Egyptian Gallery. The new display is ultimately a resultant of her inspired vision, many
heated discussions with her collaborators and capabilities of the museum’s technical staff.
As a university lecturer she supervised successive classes ofstudents, sharpening an already sharp tongue
on graduate students and practicallyforce-feeding them knowledge and proper scientific practices. Mistakes
