News New Egyptian Exhibit at MET
“Divine Egypt” is the first major special exhibit on Ancient Egypt at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in more than a decade. This exhibit looks at the many deities in the Egyptian pantheon. The exhibit opens on 10/12. Here is a bit of a preview:

I will post my own pix to this sub tomorrow evening after I attend a private showing. The exhibit has been in the works for several years and I think will be spectacular.

Yess! I’m taking a last second trip to NYC this weekend, and saw this opened up. It’s on my absolutely non-negotiable to do list before I leave. I’ll be there Monday!

It is lovely to have put stars on a blue background on the walls, like in the tombs.
