Burning Man attracts more than 70,000 active participants from all over the globe who gather in the desert outside Reno, Nevada. Both a cultural movement and an annual event, Burning Man is one of the most influential happenings in contemporary American art and culture. The CAM encourages families to visit the Rosenthal Education Center (REC) on the first floor. Starting May 4 and running through the end of the exhibition the REC will feature a new interactive theme, Express Yourself! Inspired by Burning Man’s principle of radical self-expression, the REC will explore wild ways artists represented in the museum’s permanent collection have chosen to express themselves throughout history. Interactives will include an immersive interactive art installation by guest artist Pam Kravetz, a wacky dress up station and opportunities to create some fun wearable art to take home.

Step into a time when civilization grew along the Nile, pyramids dotted the skyline and people believed gods walked among us.

Over 5,000 years ago, one of the most advanced civilizations developed along the River Nile. Ever since, ancient Egypt – the land of pharaohs, extraordinary art, miracles and mysteries – has captivated imaginations all over the world.

Egypt: The Time of Pharaohs unveils the mysteries and explores the realities of daily life in ancient Egypt. This extraordinary exhibition looks beyond popular culture’s fantastical portrayals to examine the lives of commoners and god-kings and queens alike. More than 350 original artifacts dating back over 4,500 years, stunningly detailed models of once-lost cities and landscapes and vivid interactive multimedia spaces will combine to conjure up ancient Egyptians’ economic, mythological and cultural world. Egypt will bring the land of pharaohs back to life at Cincinnati Museum Center.

Egypt runs through August 18, 2019.
