On Saturday, June 11, 2011 Baylor University's Mayborn Museum celebrated another great summer with a “Night on the Nile.” Museum members and guests were treated to an assortment of hot appetizers, refreshing beverages, and a chocolate pyramid dessert.   Guests were able to travel through time and experience ancient Egypt through our exhibit Lost Egypt: Ancient Secrets, Modern Science.       Below we present a glimpse from the evening.

Lost Egypt: Ancient Secrets, Modern Science Continues Through September 5

Baylor University's Mayborn Museum will take you on a trip to ancient Egypt this summer. Lost Egypt: Ancient Secrets, Modern Science will be on display from May 28 to September 5, 2011 in the Thomas E. and Emilyne Weed Anding Traveling Exhibit Hall. The exhibit was created and produced by COSI, the Center of Science and Industry in Columbus, Ohio and built by the Science Museum of Minnesota.

Lost Egypt is an immersive quest for knowledge that reveals how archaeologists use modern science and technology to uncover and understand the ancient civilization of Egypt.
