TEC-CH Blog: Pop Quiz at the Brooklyn Museum

Friday 13 February 2009

Pop Quiz at the Brooklyn Museum

To complement opening of the exhibition Unearthing the Truth: Egypt's Pagan and Coptic Sculpture, the Brooklyn Museum presents a pop quiz for all to test their skills on identifying genuine ancient artifacts from their modern reproductions. Besides telling apart a fake from an original, very often an artifact was also modified partly over its course of history, i.e. it is an original but someone pimped it at some point. See if you can tell the difference over the nine images of Egyptian/Coptic sculptures. A hint from yours truly: materials, colours, craftsmanship tend to reflect their origins in time. 

Do you think this is an effective means to promote an exhibition? Let us know in the comment box!

Good luck and happy quizzing!
