The overall experience that this exhibition was great, everything was very well laid out and easy to get a good look at from different angles along with the exhibition area being large enough to accommodate a large amount of people. I was able to learn much of how the queens of Egypt ruled along with insight to the lives of the common people that kept this civilization running thanks to the records kept on various artifacts. I would greatly recommend this exhibition to anyone that has any interest in Ancient Egypt or anyone that enjoys museums.
