Exhibition: Excavating Egypt
The Press Enterprise (Robert Kreutzer)The Petrie Museum at University College London hosts one of largest collections of Egyptian antiquities, and now, thanks to Cal State San Bernardino's Robert V. Fullerton Art Museum, you won't need an airline ticket to see it.
Pieces from the Petrie collection will be on display at the RVF Art Museum as part of "Excavating Egypt," a presentation that will feature a variety of objects from 5,000 years of Egypt's ancient and fabled history, from its dynastic ages to Greco-Roman rule. The show will run until Feb. 15.
Most of the pieces were excavated by British archeologist William Matthew Flinders Petrie, a pioneer in the exploration of Egypt and the Middle East. Petrie explored many of Egypt's most important sites, including Hawara, Meydum, Abydos and Amarna.

Petrie, with the close and generous support of British writer and explorer Amelia Edwards, made many expeditions to Egypt and the Middle East from the early 1880s until his death in 1942.
The RVF Art Museum already possesses the largest Egyptian collections west of the Mississippi River. With the visiting Petrie collection, the museum offers Inland visitors a chance to see a groundbreaking assortment of antiquities.
