Egypt
Exhibition: Exhibit looks at fakes throughout history
Canadian Press
That's the question raised in a new exhibition at the Royal Ontario Museum, which will present artifacts ranging from Egyptian antiquities and Chinese porcelain to knockoffs of designer brand clothing.
The 115 objects in "Fakes & Forgeries: Yesterday and Today," opening Jan. 9, include bogus items displayed alongside their genuine counterparts. Visitors will see fossils, pre-Columbian urns, ancient Greek terracotta statuettes, black market DVDs and hockey equipment, the museum says.
Show sponsor Microsoft Canada contributes a display on counterfeit software, while the Bank of Canada is providing a historical exhibit on phoney money.
The exhibition also gives tips on how to avoid being fooled by modern scams, said Paul Denis, assistant curator in the ROM's department of world cultures.
