To Live Forever: Egyptian Treasures From the Brooklyn Museum December 30, 2009

More than 120 items from one of the world's greatest collections of Egyptian antiquities will help guests explore the universal theme of life after death. Mummies, sarcophagi, jewelry, statuary, papyri, and other age-old pieces illustrate the strategies that ancient Egyptians used to evade death and, ultimately, live forever. The Chrysler, which also is renovating its own Egyptian gallery, is the only mid-Atlantic venue for this popular traveling exhibition.
