Presented in Jacksonville by The Cummer Council

The Cummer is pleased to present a rarely seen collection of nearly 85 masterpieces, spanning four dynasties of ancient Egypt. This exhibit is heralded as one of the foremost collections of pharaonic artifacts in the world. From sculpture and relief, to jewelry and funerary items, the exhibition showcases some of the very best of The British Museum's Egyptian Art.

This exhibition is organized by the American Federation of Arts and The British Museum. This exhibition is made possible, in part, by the Philip and Janice Levin Foundation Fund for Collection-Based Exhibitions at the American Federation of Arts.
