Jacksonville! Striking Power: Iconoclasm in Ancient Egypt is now on view at Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, today through April 26. Inspired by one of the most common questions from our visitors regarding damaged objects in our Egyptian collection, the exhibition explores patterns of intentional damage on sculptures and reliefs as a result of shifting ideologies in ancient Egypt. If you have a friend in Jacksonville who you think will enjoy this show, share this with them and tell them to check it out!Posted by Gwen ArriagaScribe and Treasurer, Sety, New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, reign of Thutmose III, circa. 1479–1458 B.C.E., From Egypt.
