Welcome
T
he Metropolitan Museum takes delight in providing educational programs for
the general public and especially for teachers and their students. We are
pleased to offer this comprehensive resource, which contains texts, posters,
slides, and other materials about outstanding works of Egyptian art from the
MuseumÕs collection.
The texts draw upon the truly impressive depth of knowledge of the curators in
our Department of Egyptian Art, especially Dorothea Arnold, James Allen,
Catharine H. Roehrig, and Marsha Hill. Included are background information,
descriptions of the specific objects, illustrations that can be photocopied, sug-
gested classroom activities, and lesson plans.
These materials have been assembled by Edith Watts, associate Museum educa-
tor, and her colleagues to bring Egyptian art into the classroom, library, or other
learning environment. They are designed to increase your knowledge and plea-
sure in viewing Egyptian art at the Metropolitan or other museum, whether it be
for the first time or upon a return visit.
This is the first in a projected series of educatorsÕ resources supported by a gen-
erous grant from Mr. and Mrs. Frederick P. Rose, who share our dedication to
making the unique educational resources of The Metropolitan Museum of Art
readily accessible to educators throughout the New York area as well as across
the country.
We hope you find this resource useful, informative, and enjoyable.
