The exhibition also explores popular themes including Cleopatra\, mummies\, King Tut\, and the influence of ancient Egypt in film\, fashion\, media\, and visual culture. \nLenders to the exhibition include the Yale Center for British Art\, Yale University Art Gallery\, the Wadsworth Atheneum\, the Hood Museum of Art\, artists\, and private collectors. An illustrated exhibition catalogue will be available in the galleries. \nA series of free public programs will accompany the exhibition\, including curator talks\, gallery tours\, lectures\, and family events. Opening events begin on September 17 with a 5:30 pm conversation between curator Megan Paqua and Curator of Education Michelle DiMarzo\, followed by a reception at 6:30 pm. Additional programs throughout the fall will explore topics including mummification\, ancient Egypt in video games\, Egyptian antiquities in New York\, and featured works from the exhibition. \nFairfield University Art Museum is located at 200 Barlow Road\, Fairfield\, CT 06824.
