This spring, the Brooklyn Museum will hold an exhibition of Egyptian artifacts in the Charles Edwin Wilbour collection, taken from Egyptian tombs dated between Old Kingdom and the Roman period.

The museum passed along several images of the artifacts to be seen, and I took the occasion to assemble a photo essay of some of them, with a tad bit of context for our entertainment.
The Brooklyn Museum's exhibit To Live Forever will run between February 12 and May 2, 2010.
