Feed Back on Ancient Egypt Exhibition

First of all, thanks to those who were able to make it on the 17th! Your support was greatly appreciated!!

Couldn’t make it? Here are some points we discussed :

• The overall atmosphere of the Ancient Egypt exhibition. Massive glass doors are protecting the entrance to the exhibit, which creates a feeling of separation from the rest of the museum.
• The theme. Some of us were under the impression that the exhibit would entirely focus on Egypt and Egyptian mummies rituals. Despite the importance of showing mummification techniques, it was not quite clear, for instance, why mummies from Europe or South America were displayed.
• The unifying thread. Some informations that could have simplified the theme understanding were given towards the end of the visit.

We also discussed a bit about current and upcoming exhibitions in Balboa Park as well as practical details about future Museum Café meetings (time, place, advertising,…)

Next meeting will start at 5pm on Feb 21rst (BASSAM Coffee Shop). This time we’ll be discussing The Soundwaves :The Art of Sampling exhibition (MCASD La Jolla) and its web-site http://www.mcasd.org/soundwaves/
