    Today’s tour of ancient Egyptian art takes us to museums all around the world. We’ll be stopping in London, Detroit, Seattle, Paris and New York. Sorry, no frequent flyer miles will be rewarded.

    Ancient Egypt5 stars

    "Board games were very common in ancient Egypt and people from all levels of society played them. Many game boards from ancient Egypt have been found by archaeologists." This British Museum exhibit (my pick of the day) doesn't focus exclusively on Egyptian art, but rather presents a marvelous interactive overview of ancient Egyptian life. Each of the ten topics (for example Pyramids, Geography, Pharaoh) feature a Shockwave challenge such as playing a board game or matching tools to the correct tradesman. Teachers will find curriculum notes in the Staff Room.

    Metropolitan Museum of Art: Egyptian Art4 stars

    "The collection of ancient Egyptian art at the Metropolitan Museum ranks among the finest outside Cairo. It consists of approximately 36,000 objects of artistic, historical, and cultural importance. ... Fifty highlights from the department are presented online in approximate chronological order, and are identified by dynasty and/or period."
