To Live Forever: Egyptian Treasures

Egyptian Treasures from the Brooklyn Museum
June 6 – September 12, 2010

The belief in life after death was central to Egyptian civilization over thousands of years, with death seen as an enemy that could be defeated through ritual and proper preparation. Through jewelry, statuary, funerary vessels and other objects, this exhibition explores how the ancient Egyptians sought to conquer death and create a rich afterlife.
