    A three-part exhibition looking at the art, history, and culture of ancient Egypt and its influence on Tennessee will open at the Tennessee State Museum on Sunday, February 27 and continue until Sept. 4, 2011.

    Egyptian Relics, Replicas & Revivals: Treasures from Tutankhamun, features ancient artifacts from the Institute of Egyptian Art & Archaeology of the University of Memphis (IEAA/UM) and beautifully detailed replicas presented in International Museum Institute of New York (IMINY) traveling exhibition, “Tutankhamun: ‘Wonderful Things’ from the Pharaoh’s Tomb.”

    Additionally, the exhibit also measures Egypt’s surprisingly broad footprint in Tennessee as seen in Egyptian revival works from the collections of the State Museum, as well as objects loaned by the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) and Vanderbilt University (VU). These works date from the mid-1800s to contemporary times.
