The Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Metropolitan Museum of Arts teacher cooking programs and accompanying materials
are made possible through a unselfish grant from Mr. and Mrs. Frederick P. Rose.

Welcome
he Metropolitan Museum takes catch in providing educational programs for
the general public and especially for teachers and their students. We are
blissful to offer this comprehensive pick, which contains texts, posters,
slides, and other materials about outstanding whole works of Egyptian stratagem from the
Museums collection.

T

The texts draw upon the truly impressive depth of knowledge of the curators in
our Department of Egyptian Art, especially Dorothea Arnold, throng Allen,
Catharine H. Roehrig, and Marsha Hill. Included are background information,
descriptions of the specific objects, illustrations that can be photocopied, suggested classroom activities, and lesson plans.
These materials have been assembled by Edith Watts, associate Museum educator, and her colleagues to bring Egyptian art into the classroom, library, or other
learning environment. They are designed to add-on your knowledge and pleasure in viewing Egyptian art at the Metropolitan or other museum, whether it be
for the first metre or upon a return visit.




This is the first in a projected series of educators resources supported by a generous grant from Mr. and Mrs. Frederick P. Rose, who share our dedication to
making the unique educational resources of The Metropolitan Museum of Art
readily accessible to educators throughout the New York knowledge domain as well as across
the country.
We hope you find this resource useful, informative, and enjoyable.
