Featured was a collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts dedicated to the Queens of Egypt. The jewelry, specifically the stunning necklaces that would look beautiful around any modern woman's neck. Even though this museum charges admission, NGS is a worthy recipient. The gift shop had ancient Egyptian jewelry reproductions and I couldn't resist two pair. Take extra time to look at the coffins, the large statues and the cosmetic containers. Some of the paint looks as though it were painted yesterday. The 3-D visual recreation of Nefertiri's tomb was memorable, especially since that's the closest we'll ever get to the real thing.
