I hadn't noticed this before but there are two exhibits with life-size reconstructions of the burial chamber of Thutmose III doing the rounds at the moment. See the previous post regarding the Edinburgh City Art Centre exhibition.

Take a tour through the ancient Egyptian afterlife this fall in Dayton, where the art institute is showing a blockbuster exhibit on the culture's practices and beliefs in immortality.

Among the items: a life-size reconstruction of the burial chamber of Pharaoh Thutmose III, who ruled Egypt in the 15th century B.C.; and a mummy and a coffin from Egypt's 21st Dynasty (1069-945 B.C.), complete with X-rays and CT scans, on loan from Emory University...
