Mummy masks such as this are on display at the Joslyn Art Museum as part of the “To Live Forever: Egyptian Treasures from the Brooklyn Museum” display, which runs through June 3. |
UNMC employees are invited to join Brooke Masek, assistant to Joslyn’s Executive Director and CEO, at noon on March 7 in the Sorrell Center, Room 2014, for an illustrated talk on the “To Live Forever: Egyptian Treasures from the Brooklyn Museum.”
The exhibition, which is on display now through June 3 — explores:
- Egyptian beliefs about life, death, and the afterlife;
- The process of mummification;
- The conduct of a funeral; and
- The different types of tombs — answering questions at the core of our fascination with ancient Egypt.
RSVP to Kacie Gerard at kgerard@unmc.edu by March 1 if you would like to attend.
