The Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester is in the final
planning stages of the three-year exhibition Protected for Eternity: The
Coffins of Pa-debehu-Aset. Scheduled to open on October 8, 2003, the
exhibition focuses on the Gallery's newly-acquired inner anthropoid and
outer shrine coffins of Pa-debehu-Aset, an Egyptian official of the
Ptolemaic Period. Objects from our permanent collection and on loan from the
Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts will supplement the
installation in order to explain ancient Egyptian religious and funerary
beliefs. The interpretive nature of the exhibition is specifically oriented
toward the education of our visitors.  A 12-page gallery guide as well as an
in-gallery CD-ROM will complement and augment the physical installation. The
CD-ROM will be distributed to teachers and eventually adapted for our
website. Public and educational programming includes a lecture series and
on-going teacher training.
