Exhibition: 'Excavating Egypt' shatters art museum records
LexGo (Mary Meehan)
With nearly 13,000 visitors, the exhibit Excavating Egypt buried previous attendance records at The Art Museum at the University of Kentucky and could help attract funding for other blockbuster exhibits.
The exhibit, which ran March 22 to June 14, drew four times as many visitors as the most recent major exhibit at the museum.
Some 500 and 700 people routinely came to the museum on Fridays, when admission was free, said the museum's director, Kathy Walsh-Piper.
The exhibit offered an intimate glimpse into life in ancient Egypt, with 221 ranging from exotic golden funeral masks to a stone rat trap. It was the most extensive display of Egyptian objects ever to come to Central Kentucky.
