Mummies and Such
Coming Forth By Day: Life and Death in Ancient Egypt
A Tour and Lecture by Dr. Kate Stevens

Exhibit at the JMU Madison Art Collection
Thursday, February 25, 2016

The popular image of ancient Egypt focuses on its funerary rituals and burial practices, particularly as dramatized by cinema and television. A closer look reveals not a culture obsessed with death, but with continued existence both on earth and in the after-world. Kate Stevens is the Director of the Madison Art Collection. She has taught art history at JMU for over fifteen years and her many areas of expertise include the art of ancient Egypt and North Africa. She has BA and MA degrees from JMU and a PhD from VCU. She has often graciously offered her time and talents to the LLI community.
