LOW---The Brooklyn Museum of Art has taken the low road to Egyptian Afterlife. Mummification details inscribed on the walls of the exhibit, and body parts on display insure that school tours will be noisy and gory. The hind-brain at it's best in public.
HIGH---In contrast, The Rubin Museum of Art's "Remember You Will Die" focuses across cultures on the process, rituals and spiritual beliefs. Any Hospice worker would be at home in this exhibit. The pre-frontal cortex may learn some things at the Rubin!
