While July marks the last chance for viewers to see 4,500 years of ancient Egyptian history, a new exhibition featuring RAFFMA’s permanent collection of Egyptian antiquities is tentatively set to open in the spring of 2015.
A handsome and informative companion to the release of the second collection catalog, this new exhibition will focus on the three golden periods of ancient Egyptian history: Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom (approximately 2650-1070 B.C.).
