Egypt, it's one of the biggest tourist attractions in the world and people from all over the world
have made it one of the most sought after places to visit. With its ancient pyramids, majestic
statues and its rich cultural history, it’s no wonder that it remains a popular vacation
destination. On February 15th at 5pm, Lakeland residents will get the opportunity to taste a
bit of the Old Kingdom as the Polk Museum unveils its line of ancient Egyptian artifacts for
the first time. The best part is that it can all be done from the comforts of their own county!
The Old Kingdom is an especially important time in Egyptian history. It is the period that is
broken up into dynasties, popularly described as the period from the Third Dynasty through
to the Sixth Dynasty (2686 BC-2181 BC), These periods are well known due to the
remarkable evolutionary changes that took place in Egyptian art and architecture.. With
different kings serving in each dynasty, an explosion of artistic creativity seized the country
leaving behind some of the most dynamic architectural structures and historical art work.
Curator Nicole Torres, is excited about releasing her line of Egyptian artifacts from the Old
Kingdom, giving Lakeland residents a taste of Ancient Egypt. Having 10 years
experience collecting ancient artifacts from Egypt and five years as Curator in the state of
Florida, Ms. Torres states that, “these five pieces were chosen due to their significance in
Egyptian history.” Among the collection is the Triad of Menkaure, one of the Egyptian kings
who ordered the construction of the third and smallest of the Pyramids of Giza. With each
piece focusing on this era, viewers will be provided with a brief educational history of its
background and its relevance.
From sculptures, paintings, and statues, Egyptian history continues to inspire and Torres
hopes to bring that sentiment to the people of Lakeland and Polk County, “I hope to leave the
audience with a taste for more of Egypt” she says. There is no charge to tour the exhibit and
with just one click of the button below, viewers can take a sneak peak of what they can
expect. The museum opens at 5pm on February 15th. Children 13 and under must be
accompanied by an adult. Refreshments will be served in the waiting area. For more
