The scent of the afterlife unbottled in new study of ancient Egyptian mummification balms
In recent years, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art has spoiled its audience with fascinating exhibitions. A conversation with the museum's chief curator reveals more big things to come.
Not all of the museum's collection was properly cataloged or registered, a situation not unique among large institutions.
The Haifa Museum of Art offers a loving look at the locale, and beyond.
The items that were stolen were worth up to £50,000. Moreover, the museum was told years in advance that a staff member was stealing artifacts.
None of the items had recently been on public display and were kept primarily for academic and research purposes.
Discovered in 2005 near the historic site believed to be the prophesied Armageddon, the mosaic is situated near an Israeli prison.
The pair of ornaments are known as finials, or “rimonim” in Hebrew, and sit on top of the two wooden staves of a Torah scroll when it is not being read.
However, because Fortnite has many pop culture crossovers, users could show up at the museum dressed as a superhero or even "a walking banana."
