After the science center, I took the boys over to the St Louis Art Museum to see the ancient egypt exhibit. Andrew has been asking to see the mummy for quite awhile....
And he loved it...
The boys want to come back to sled Art Hill....
I love this...Austin is walking like an egytptian....
The details on these were amazing...it's crazy to think these were all painted by hand....
this one was Drew's favorite...
looking at a case full of shabtis, which are little carved statues that egyptians thought would come to life through magic spells and do all the work in the afterlife for them.
these are jars the boys are looking at called Canopic Jars. This is where the mummy's internal organs were put. There are hieroglyphics carved into the front, and the different heads are the different gods who protect the organs.
