This is coming to the ROM at the end of February. I'm definitely going to check this out:
"Eternal Egypt: Masterworks of Ancient Art from The British Museum" is
a comprehensive exhibition mounted from one of the world's most outstanding Egyptian art collections. "Eternal Egypt" illustrates the development and achievements of ancient Egyptian art over more than three thousand years, from the pre-Dynastic to the Roman Periods (c.3100 B.C. to A.D. 170). Concentrating on splendid objects from the Middle and New Kingdoms and the Late Period, the exhibition's diverse works include mummy masks, coffins and other funerary items, sculpture and relief, papyri, ostraca (pottery shards used as writing surfaces), jewellery and cosmetic objects. Made possible by rebuilding at The British Museum that required the temporary removal of these objects from display, the exhibition boasts 144 exceptional artifacts, some of which have never before left the British Museum or have not been exhibited for years.
For those of you who have also been a little disappointed with the ROM's current Ancient Egyptian collection, this will definitely be for you!
