I recommend the Egyptian antiquities from the Louvre exhibition. I went a few weeks ago. I wanted to try catch the National Treasures Exhibit but forgot all about it.

Funny you should mention those particular items as that's what I wanted to see. I'm supposed to be going the Egyptian Antiques again before it leaves.

there was some other interesting stuff as well, including a small fragment of the original eureka stockade flag... and lots of real interesting stories to read behind the stuff on show... but yeah they were the ones that stuck out for me

Yeah, I would imagine so. Those two things just had particular relevance to a project I was involved with recently.
