Check out the exhibition online.

The IMA was the first venue to host this touring exhibition, which included some of the greatest masterworks of the Egyptian artistic tradition from the Brooklyn Museum’s extensive, world-renown collection. The exhibition, which explored Egyptian strategies for defeating death and achieving eternal life, contained over 100 objects including coffins, statuary, jewelry and vessels. The exhibition told the story of mummification, the funeral procession and rituals, the contents of the tomb, the final judgment, and the idealized afterlife.
