Exhibition: Napoleon in Egypt

The Napoleon in Egypt exhibition at the Macon Museum of Arts and Sciences (U.S.) ends this month, on the 26th March. There is very little informtaion on the website, which is in in the process of a rebuild, but is summarized as follows: "the history of the invasion, original signed documents from Napoleon and his generals, and the story of the Rosetta Stone and Cleopatra’s needles. Discover the beginnings of Egyptology through detailed 19th century expedition prints and Egyptian antiquities including amulets, pottery, mummified animals, coffins, and even a mummy!"
