Planning a trip to New York later in the year, I was having a look around to see if any Egyptology exhibitions are running or going to run, and I found this one. It is planned to run from September 13th 2005 to January 15th 2006 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The museum's description reads: "The causes of illnesses were little understood in ancient Egypt, and their prevention and cure was a major concern for most Egyptians—one that informs much of ancient Egyptian art, yet has been given relatively little attention. This exhibition will highlight objects from the Museum’s collection that address this concern, allowing visitors to appreciate them in new ways. Included will be the rarely seen Edwin Smith Papyrus, on loan from the New York Academy of Medicine. One of the world’s oldest scientific documents, this 15-foot papyrus deals with the treatment of wounds both practically and magically". There is also a Hatshepsut exhibition running from March next year, but I'll post about that somewhat nearer the time.
