The Egyptian collection reminds us that: - Art preserves memory across millennia - Humans have always sought meaning beyond death - Beauty and function can unite perfectly - Every civilization builds on what came before

The ancient Egyptians believed speaking someone's name kept them alive. By viewing their art, reading their names, and sharing their stories, we participate in their immortality. You've just helped keep an entire civilization alive.
