Article on Alexandria's National Museum

Post by wolfiejinn »

(whimper) Who's gonna take me on a trip? Does anyone have any other information about this? How I could have missed this, I've not the foggiest idea. And here I was enjoying Dr. Hawass's diatribe against Dr. Joan Fletcher, the woman who's convinced she cleverly found Nefertiti.http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2003/662/heritage.htmWolfie

Wolfie,
Having just gotten back from Cairo, I would imagine this museum is well worth the trip. The collection at the Cairo Museum was unbelievable. And Egypt is definitely something to be experienced in one's lifetime. Get there!

Thanks for that - it looks very interesting.I would be interested to know how it differs from, or enhances, the Graeco-Roman museum in Alexandria. I went there last Easter and thought it was fantastic (although I wish I had had more time to look around - I managed to miss one of the better busts of Alexander!).All the bestMarcus
