Walk like an Egyptian through Sunken Cities at Minneapolis Institute of Art

Sorry, I couldn't resist the easy title; sometimes that the hardest part of this whole process. It was a beautiful sunny day in Minneapolis, and it seems like everyone was out, and many of them were at the Minneapolis Institute of Art checking out the preview of Egypt's Sunken Cities. It's an expansive exhibit, featuring relics collected from the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea of the coast of Egypt from the sunken cities of Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus. There is a very brief film at the beginning of the exhibit that talks what/where the cities were, what may have happened and how the items were retrieved. It's a lot of information in a short period of time, but it helps give you an understanding of the collection. There is also the audio guide (which we didn't use). The exhibit is in Minneapolis until April, but don't wait too long. Exhibitions like this tend to be very popular and tickets go fast. We started our day with brunch at Fig and Farro, a vegan/vegetarian restaurant where we had a delicious meal. Enjoy the photos and check out the exhibit.
