Exhibition: World of the Pharaohs, Egyptian Masterpieces From the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
North West Arkansas' News Source
You know an exhibition is big if it is being announced more than a year and half before it arrives.
So it is with “World of the Pharaohs: Egyptian Masterpieces From the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston,” which will be on display at the Arkansas Arts Center from Sept. 10, 2009, through June 27, 2010.
“World of the Pharaohs,” what Arts Center executive director Nan Plummer calls the “first exhibition of Egyptian art to come to Arkansas,” will consist of more than 200 objects. Among the artifacts, many of which originate from the Pyramid age (2675-2130 B. C. ), are a royal decree carved in limestone, a relief scene from the tomb of Qar and Idu, a sarcophagus lid, jewelry, amulets and a cat mummy.
The Arkansas Arts Center has its own website.
