I hate to say it, but my first major museum exhibit since the pandemic turned out to be a bit of a logistical bummer.
Queen Nefertariâs Egypt has been laid out in the Kimbellâs Piano Pavilion to allow visitors to practice social distancing. This means that you may very well have to wait at the exhibitâs entrance in the pavilionâs lobby before you go in. It also means that you have to follow a rigidly marked path through the show, possibly having to wait while the people in front of you are done looking at whatever item of interest theyâre viewing before you can move on. I miss the freedom of movement that I enjoyed at museum shows in the time before. Despite all of that, the Kimbellâs latest blockbuster still has plenty to enthrall Egyptologists and the like.
