Egypt
Exhibition: Temples and Tombs
http://www.indyweek.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A115105
This is hardly the first review of Temples and Tombs, currently in North Carolina, but it is a rather good one: "Despite having to puzzle through a construction obstacle course that would stump a sphinx, visitors to the NCMA will be pleased with the exhibition's variety and depth. The show features everything from a colossal stone lion to a tiny, intricately fashioned plaque of gold. Hieroglyphics fans will find several stelas, or carved tablets, as well as papyrus scrolls of the Book of the Dead. Mummy aficionados will be treated to a beautifully painted lid from the coffin of a woman. And Egyptian history buffs will be satisfied with plenty of statuary depicting kings and pharaohs.
The only thing visitors won't find in the exhibition is an artifact they may have seen before. That's because all the pieces in the collection are part of a traveling show and have not actually been on display in the British Museum for at least six years. . . .Some are pieces from a demolished gallery at the museum, while others were simply in storage."

The article goes on to discuss how the exhibition is structured, and describes in detail some of the items on display.
