 Egyptian
Art (Off the Wall Museum Guides for Kids) by
Ruthie Knapp, Janice Lehmberg
We learned that museums can be a lot of fun. We take our time
to jot down notes (so we can build our website!) or draw pictures,
or read stories about the people who made the artifacts. This
book shows that visiting museums can be fun for kids of all
ages. A great guide to stuff Egyptian that will help everyone
have more fun at the museum.

Egypt
: Yesterday and Today : Lithographs
by David Roberts, Fabio Bourbon, Antonio Attini (Photographer)
Fully illustrated hardcover.
In 1838, just as the west was discovering the legacy of ancient
Egypt, Scotsman David Roberts left on an expedition to document
the archaeological sites. His timeless sketches are the best
record of these famous sites before they were excavated. Modern
photographs by Antonio Attini show how much has changed in nearly
160 years.

The
Art of Ancient Egypt by Gay Robins
Fully illustrated hardcover
What did art, and the architecture that housed it, mean to the
ancient Egyptians? Why did they invest such vast wealth and
effort in its production? These are the puzzles Gay Robins explores
as she examines the objects of Egyptian art - the tombs and
wall paintings, the sculpture and stelae, the coffins, funerary
papyri, and amulets - from its first flowering in the Early
Dynastic period to its finalresurgence in the time of the Ptolemies.

One
of the world's ten best museums, the Egyptian Antiquities Museum naturally
houses the most extensive collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts anywhere.
There are so many artifacts, and they tend to be quite large stone items
at that, that the museum seems to have overgrown its space.
