To Live Forever explores the ancient Egyptian belief that death was an enemy that could be defeated through proper preparation. More than 100 objects, including a mummy, statuary, coffins, jewelry, and vessels, from the Brooklyn Museum’s extensive, world renowned collection tell the story of mummification, the funeral procession and rituals, the contents of the tomb, the final judgment, and the idealized afterlife. See funeral accessories that were used to defeat death and achieve success in the afterlife.
