Thanks for that Giskin. Looks like a potential resource for my new OU humanities students!
The exhibition is dreadful. It is nothing like "The Art of Medicine in Ancient Egypt" at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. There is little to be learned is this most disappointing display.
Okay, thanks for the heads-up! What a shame as the RSM usually does well on these things. Let's hope the Sherlock Holmes one is better.
