The mysteries of ancient Egypt still have the power to awe and inspire, and now Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute is hoping they will draw thousands of visitors to the museum this summer.
The exhibit is the third in a series designed to attract a broader audience to the nearly 100-year-old institution and revitalize its relationship with the community it calls home.
“The whole vision is for the institute to become more welcoming, more accessible, for our programs to be broader based, more vibrant and better connected overall to the community,” MWPAI President Anthony Spiridigloizzi said.
The show, “Shadow of the Sphinx, Ancient Egypt and its Influence,” comes on the heels of the “Wedded Perfection” dress exhibit that attracted 14,000 people. An exhibit of photographer Ansel Adams’ works drew 7,000.
