Egypt
Petrie Museum - Present and Future
http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/news/story/0,11711,1505969,00.html
As anyone who has read this blog regularly will know, I am a great fan of the Petrie Museum (and one of the Friends of the Petrie). So it is always great to see them getting a bit of publicity. The UK broadsheet The Guardian did a very short feature on it last week (thanks again, Tia) reporting that the museum's exhibits only display 5% of 81,000 items in less than perfect conditions, but that there are new premises planned. See the article for a few more details.
Details of the new museum can be found at the Petrie's website at the following address http://www.petrie.ucl.ac.uk/index2.html under the "The Petrie Museum" link (navigate to the "Planning the New Museum" link). The new museum will be called the Panopticon, and its opening is planned for 2008.
