I love the B’M’Fa, haven’t been there in years, but that story fills me with envy. :’) Naturally, I spent all my time (apart from a quick trip to the cafeteria, and I bought a slide and a book at the gift shop) wandering the Egyptian exhibits, and on in to the Greek and Roman areas. They really need to switch that around — after the spendid Egyptian collection they boast, the Greco-Roman stuff looks kinda sick.
Indeed! The Egyptian Collection at the BMFA is astounding!
