Exhibit Review: Learning About Ancient Objects (Within the Mummy Exhibit)
The Ancient Objects exhibit had a very standard set up. There was three large pieces, each centrally placed, surrounded by twenty two smaller objects. In this exhibit our eyes move from the centerpiece, the large necklace, to the larger figures to the left and right of the necklace, to the smaller figures from left to right, top to bottom. In the center are the necklaces labeled “protectors of evil.” I was very disappointed to find that was really all the text that was associated with these artifacts.
Together the exhibit is supposed to represent Egyptian religious ideas. The exhibit
