Exhibition: Egypt, Gift of the Nile


North Bay Nugget

The Nile River Valley of 6,000 years ago is not a time nor a place easily understood by Northerners. Luckily for residents of North Bay and surrounding area, learning about ancient Egypt is about to get a whole lot easier. Discovery North Bay, in the former CPR station at 100 Ferguson St., will display a Royal Ontario Museum exhibit through to the end of August - Egypt: Gift of the Nile. The various displays, delivered Thursday from one of Canada's premier museums, cover all aspects of ancient Egyptian life - clothing, food, households, buildings, family life, education, religion, death and the afterlife.

According to Jennifer Buell, director of Discovery North Bay, the exhibit, which will be on display at Discovery North Bay from July 10 until August 24, is rich in actual artifacts from the period, including jewellery, religious statuettes and other things. "When an exhibit of this calibre comes to North Bay, it's a great opportunity to learn something," she said, noting the museum has been waiting for the Egyptian exhibit for the past 18 months.
The strangely named @discoverynorthbay Museum has a website giving details of the exhibition at:
