"One of the season’s most anticipated cultural events is the opening of the Glories of Ancient Egypt exhibition at the Museum of Arts & Sciences. Considered one of the finest collections of its kind in the world, Glories of Ancient Egypt features more than 200 works of art from Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. Mummies, reliefs, coffins and artifacts dating back close to 4000 B.C. will be a part of the exhibit which will cap the museum’s 50th anniversary in grand style. The exhibition contains objects from a period of more than 4,200 years including the Predynastic Period, (ca. 3850-2960 B.C.), Old Kingdom (2575-2100 B.C.), and First Intermediate Period (2100-2061 B.C.). The exhibition will be on display throughout the winter season from November 18 through May 7, 2006". This is the complete item on the Travel Video website.
More information about the exhibition can be found at: www.mummiesindaytonabeach.com (dedicated website) and the museum's home page: http://moas.org/. Ticket prices and opening times, together with a really very nice looking virtual gallery (scrolls automatically, click on it to stop it) can be found on the following page, but be warned that even on broadband it does take a few seconds to load: http://mummiesindaytonabeach.com/exhibit.cfm
