If you were an Ancient Egypt kid, you've got to see this exhibit!
This past weekend, I went to go see the "Treasures of the Pharaohs" exhibit at the de Young Museum. It was an amazing experience as someone who read every book in the library about ancient Egypt as a child. I, along with the rest of the world, have always been fascinated with the art, objects, practices, and culture from that era.
Tying into the mission of Spooky Bitch Antiques is this exhibit's inclusion of so many items found with burials. Learning how the dead were honored and prepared through history for their journey only brings us closer to our own mortality. Many of these items were used to contain or decorate the dead, and there is such care and detail on every inch of every piece.
Highly recommend going to see this exhibit, and make sure to check out the rest of the museum while you're there!
