Created to accompany the exhibition from the collections of The British Museum, Eternal Egypt illustrates the development and achievements of ancient Egyptian art over a period of more than 3,000 years. Exhibition curator Edna Russman, one of the world's leading authorities on ancient Egyptian art, and a team of international scholars examine over 140 works featured in the exhibition. Many of the artifacts are among the finest examples of their kind to have survived from antiquity, and the lively text reveals these objects as a means of extraordinary artistic expression rather than simply as historical documents. More than 270 color photographs and illustrations.
