A.V. museum showcases Egyptian display

"Lancaster Museum Art Gallery opens Saturday an Egyptian display of its own with more than a millennium's worth of sculpture, jewelry, cosmetic objects and funerary equipment - and admission is free. A Middle Kingdom coffin from about 1800 B.C. and wooden sarcophagus masks from 1500 B.C. - both older than Tut's treasures - will be on display, along with mummified falcons, wooden statuettes, bronze figurines, and headrests". See the article for more (this is Lancaster in the US, not the UK).
