Hmmm perhaps another reason to venture south this fall...I want to see the traveling exhibit "To Live Forever: Egyptian Treasures From the Brooklyn Museum," opening at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Virginia, in October. The exhibit is only there until January 2010.

Upcoming Exhibitions

To Live Forever: Egyptian Treasures from the Brooklyn Museum October 14, 2009–January 3, 2010
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.
