Petrie Museum wins top award
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/4538365.stm
"A 100-year-old museum, home to one of the world's largest collections of Egyptian and Sudanese archaeology, has won an industry award. A panel of experts judged University College London's Petrie Museum to have remained relevant and interesting since its creation in 1892". I am delighted to post this article - having spent many happy hours in the Petrie, and only last week having sat with a tray of Faiyum lithics about which I was writing a report, thanks to the excellent staff at the museum, I can say from first hand experience what a terrific place it is. I can only say how pleased I am for them. They have also done more to use the Internet that most much bigger museums, publishing their entire catalouge online, offering online educational material, and graphical reconstructions. Congratulations to a very deserving winner.
