Mummies in the library (Antwerp, 16-12-2006)

How could I ever resist going to an exhibit with a title like this?
I love mummies! I love libraries! This must be heaven!

Actually the exhibit was not just about mummies but about the collection Egyptian artifacts from the time when Egypt was very hip (1870-1920's). They most certainly collected some wonderful pieces in Antwerp! The information was very interesting; I actually learned some new facts and I have seen many Egyptian exhibits. And yes there was a mummy too ;-)

The library itself is the oldest and most original room in the City Library of Antwerp. This room is everything a library should be! It's old with wood and cast iron ornaments; it has moody lights; there are stuffy old books and creepy stairs leading to it's other floor (which you cannot visit which makes it even more mysterious).

This exhibit is almost over (last day 31st of December) but if there's another exhibit you should definitely see it because the library is worth it already!
