SATURDAY: Sketch the Egyptian Collection


My best guess is that it's going to be too cold to sketch outside, which is a disappointment.  However it's a good time to treat ourselves sketching one of the largest and finest Egyptian Collections in the United States.  We'll be at the Brooklyn Museum on the third floor in the Martha A. and Robert S. Rubin Galleries.

Although our focus is going to be on the Egyptian rooms feel free to roam the museum.  The Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power show looks particularly interesting.

    1. In other words, it's a pay-what-you-wish situation.
