I`m tickled to death because I got my NC friends of the Art Museum catalogue today and the Tour of Egyptian Art from the British Museum will be in Raleigh from April til July. Last year when I was visiting my son in Los Angeles it was there but I never found the time to go during my trip. Finally I will be able to go and see it. I am an absolute nut for Egyptian antiquities and I got to go and see the King Tut tour when it was here in the 70`s and I saw the Rameses the Great tour in the 80`s. Anyone else here love Egyptian artifacts? |

You say you want to save humanity but it`s people that you just can`t stand John came to me in a dream and this is what he said. "I had a vision of a man on a flaming pie, and he told me that Betsy with a B not Lisa with a L is the biggest fan of mine". John trumps 'the boss' ! I WAS ROBBED BY THAT DEVIL WOMAN | |

I love it all the ancient stuff. Egypt and China fascinate me the most, but I`m a sucker for anything more than two thousand years old. |

I am crazy for Egyptian artifacts Betsy. I did not get the chance to see the Egyptian stuff when I was at the British Museum but I did see the wonderful Elgin marbles. Have you been to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC? Their Egyptian wing is AMAZING-- I could live there. I saw the Rameses tour in Denver of all places. By the way, for excellent Asian antiquities and art, come visit me in D.C. and see the Sackler.

I have been to the Met and you are right , it is to die for and my mouth waters just thinking of it. I would love to go to the Sackler, it is on my wish list. Got to a lot of museums in China last year and it was pure heaven. I saw the Rameses the Great exhibition at the Mint Museum in Charlotte in fall of 1988. It was memorable for many reasons, one being that we had just started potty training our son the week before the show. Was worried that we would have a setback spending the day away from home, but we were so proud not one accident did he have and in the middle of the large hall where the 20 ft Statue of Rameses the Great was he yells out mooooooooooooooooom pee pee time, and hundreds of heads all turned in our direction.

Hmmm... wondering if I should get myself stuck in a window and see what happens. With my luck they would send Matilda the firehouse matron to rescue me. |
