The Institute’s favorite archaeologist, Dr. Patrick Hunt, presents an in-depth look at the fascinating exhibit “The Treasures of the Pharaohs,” which is running at the de Young Museum until January 31. The exhibition brings the world of the pharaohs to life through 130 exquisite works spanning 3,000 years of history, revealing the power, beauty, and beliefs of the ancient Egyptians.
PRESENTER:
Patrick Hunt believes the perceived boundaries between academic subjects are too often arbitrary and artificial, and thus explores junctions between many intersecting areas of interest across the broader humanities, sciences, and the arts. Patrick has followed several of his life-long dreams—archaeologist, writer, composer, poet, and art historian—for nearly three decades at Stanford University. Among many other works, he is author of When Empires Clash, Pascal & Voltaire at the Cafe Procope, Hannibal, and Ten Discoveries that Rewrote History.
