Exhibit: "Death and the Afterlife in Ancient Egypt"
The Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, California, in collaboration with the British Museum presents “Mummies: Death and the Afterlife in Ancient Egypt … Treasures From the British Museum”.
The exhibition holds 140 objects, which includes 14 mummies and sarcophagi, and is the largest exhibit of its kind to be shown by the British Museum outside of Britain. It spotlights the tale of the Egyptian ritual of preparing and sending the dead to the “afterlife,” entirely with furnishings made specially for each coffin, such as astonishing golden jewelry and a wooden boat to ship the dead into the underworld.
“Mummies: Death and the Afterlife in Ancient Egypt … Treasures From the British Museum” will be displayed until April 15, and includes discounted student prices of $12 on the weekdays, and $14 on the weekends.
