The Arkansas Arts Center has found a way to take its visitors 3,000 years back in time.
The exhibit, on loan from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston through July, 2010, is the largest exhibit of its kind Arkansas has ever seen. The more than 200 mummies, statues, sculptures, pieces of jewelry and fascinating works of art provide viewers a window into life three millennia ago under Egyptian Pharaohs.
The Arkansas Arts Center expects to bring in 300,000 visitors to the exhibit. Special events include one-day academies for educators about teaching the history of Ancient Egypt and a lecture series that will focus additional light on subjects ranging from the daily life, religion, and kingship of Ancient Egypt to archaeological excavation and artifact preservation.
Little Rock is one of only four cities outside Boston selected to showcase the “Treasures of Egypt Revealed.”
