A group shot after our tour.
A beautiful piece of sculpture. It changed shapes as you moved around it. Very cool.

Sarah's Wings class took a field trip to the Art Center in Little Rock on Thursday. We were both so excited to go. The new Pharaoh exhibit is on display. I could not wait to see the treasures and take pictures. The first thing I saw was a sign that said absolutely no pictures. Big sigh. They were very serious. Guards were on duty in every corner keeping a close eye on us. The display was interesting. Actual mummies and artifacts were there. A lot of statues and symbols of their many gods. Interesting side note, as we exited the exhibit a sign on the wall suggested we offer up a prayer to the gods that the mummies would be accepted into paradise. Hhmmm. It was very thought provoking. They made such preparations for their afterlife. My favorite piece was an elaborate beaded dress. The kids were crazy about the mummies. They were so small. A portion of bone was exposed on one of them. The kids loved that. The glass cases had measuring devices with the temperature and humidity levels recording.
The other areas of the museum did not have signs banning photography. I took the opportunity to take some shots. We had a good time. Sarah was bummed we did not visit the gift shop.
