Exhibit Hall:  Ancient Egypt

Baboons warm themselves in the rising sun, birds gather on a muddy riverbank, and a tiny beetle pushes a ball of dung across the sand.  These natural rhythms of life led ancient Egyptians to create a belief system that lasted more than 3,000 years. 

Discover why these animals were deified, explore 2,300-year-old Ptolemaic Period mummies, and sniff the aromas of mummification in this exhibit hall.
