For the first time ever, experience mummies at the North Carolina Museum of Art. Open through July 11, the exhibit explores the Greco-Roman influence on ancient Egyptian culture.

MUSEUM. HELLO AND WELCOME TO GOLDEN MUMMIES OF EGYPT, GOLDEN MUMMIES OF EGYPT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY PRESENTING HUMAN MUMMIES AT THE MUSEUM, WHEN I STARTED AT THE MUSEUM 15+ YEARS AGO, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CLAMORING FOR MUMMIES EVER SENSE, WHEN WILL WE HAVE THIS MUMMY EXHIBITION. FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT EXHIBITION AND GOLDEN MUMMIES OF EGYPT IS IT . GOLDEN MUMMIES OF EGYPT WILL ALLOW YOU TO SEE EIGHT MUMMIES FROM THE GRECO- ROMAN PERIOD, THIS IS A COMPANY WITH 100+ ARTIFACTS THAT HELP TALK ABOUT RELIGIOUS BELIEFS, HOPES FOR THE AFTERLIFE, MULTICULTURALISM, YOU SEE A LOT OF OBJECTS THAT PEOPLE MIGHT FIND UNUSUAL BECAUSE THEY DO NOT LOOK EGYPTIAN, THAT IS BECAUSE OF THAT CULTURAL INFLUX, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT ONE CORNER OF NORTHEAST AFRICA THAT SUDDENLY BECOMES PART OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT'S EMPIRE AND LATER ON THE ROMANS TOOK OVER SO EGYPT BECOMES PART OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, HOW DOES THAT TRANSLATE? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? YOU STILL HAVE THE PHARAONIC TRADITIONS THAT COME EDUCATION, BUT THE WAY THAT YOU DECORATE THE MUMMIES HAS A WHOLE LOT OF ROMAN INFLUENCE. THERE IS A SPECIFIC SECTION ABOUT PORTRAITS, IT IS THE ART OF VANITY AND IF YOU THINK OF KING TUT AND HIS MASK, THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF ANCIENT EGYPT, THAT VERY IDEALIZED, SERENE REPRESENTATION THAT DOES NOT LOOK EYE PERSON. WHEN YOU COME TO THE GRECO ROMAN PERIOD, YOU HAVE MORE NATURALISTIC AND REALISTIC PORTRAITS THAT ARE BEING DONE AND SOME OF THESE ARE DIRECT INFLUENCES THAT COME FROM GREECE AND ROME. YOU SEE THAT IN THE EXHIBITION AND WE TALK ABOUT MOMMY AND INSIDE THE BANDAGES, FOR ME, IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO BE UNMAPPED, THEY REMAIN THE WAY THAT THEY WERE RITUALLY PREPARED AND THE WAY THAT THE ANCIENT WRIT OPTIONS, ANCIENT EGYPTIANS WANTED THEM TO BE, IF YOU LOOK AT A MOMMY YOU HAVE A PERSON AND AN ARTIFACT, AN ARTIFACT IS WHAT HUMANS MAKE AND IN ANCIENT EGYPT, THEY MAKE MUMMIES, IT IS BOTH ARTISTIC OBJECTS, IF YOU WILL, CAREFULLY PREPARED, HIGHLY DECORATED, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS A HUMAN PERSON, IT IS THIS ODD MIX. A MOMMY IS A MIX OF BOTH, BASICALLY. GOLDEN MUMMIES OF EGYPT RUNS ALL THE WAY THROUGH JULY 11th , THAT GIVES YOU A LOT OF TIME TO COME AND SEE IT. I WOULD RECOMMEND RESERVING YOUR SPOT IN ADVANCE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO SEE THE MUMMIES BECAUSE IT IS PROBABLY THE ONLY CHANCE YOU WILL EVER SEE A MOMMY AT THE NORTH CAROLINA MUSEUM OF ART. PEOPLE CAN GET INFORMATION ABOUT THE EXHIBITION ON OUR WEBSITE ON HOW TO GET TICKETS AND EVERYTHING YOU NEED.
