Ancient Egypt, a new exhibit at The Boonshoft Museum of Discovery, is a glimpse into the history, geography and culture of one of the world’s longest-lasting civilizations. The centerpiece of the exhibit is Nesiur, a mummy who lived around 700 B.C. The exhibition opens Saturday, Feb. 22 and is a hands-on learning experience for all ages. LISA POWELL / STAFF
