Exhibition: "Ancient Egypt: The Origins"


News Gazette

An exhibition featuring the Predynastic period of Egypt is showing at the Spurlock Museum (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, U.S.):
Some of the most fundamental and fascinating aspects of the ancient Egyptian civilization can be understood only by looking deep into Egypt's past. All the hallmarks of Egyptian culture-from pyramids and hieroglyphic writing to the belief in the afterlife and fervent nationalism-can be traced in an unbroken line back to Egypt's earliest periods. This exhibition explores the prehistoric Nile Valley and illustrates the origins of ancient Egypt through its material culture. "Ancient Egypt: The Origins" features artifacts on loan by the Brooklyn Museum.

Full details of opening times and ticket prices can be found on the Spurlock Museum website.
