The Arkansas Arts Center in Little Rock opened an exhibit yesterday called World of the Pharaohs and it will run through July 5, 2010. I saw a similar exhibit many years ago in New Orleans and it was fascinating.

The AAC goes back to the 1930s but it was really Winthrop Rockfeller who helped it become what it is today. Rockefeller brought in Townsend Wolfe as the director.

The Pharaohs exhibit is presented by Harriet and Warren Stephens.

This exhibit is a not to be missed event.
