Hi Ziners! Yesterday, Bruce and I drove down to Victoria, BC
to visit the Eternal Egypt travelling exhibit at the Royal
BC Museum. Apparently this was its first time ever "in this
part of the world". 144 pieces were displayed (from gold
jewelry to stone sculpures) and they had a video and 2
demonstrations (one on food, the other on mummification).
They also provided a hand-held gadget that allowed the
visitor to listen to commentaries at each of 25 major
pieces. I have some very strong opinions about the
experience (mostly related to the lack of techniques used in
interpreting the pieces to the visitor). We didn't attend
the accompanying IMAX presentation. Has anyone else ever
seen this in its entirity and home environment? What did you
think? How did it make you feel? Donna Nanaimo, BC Canada
