Bill Probst introduced our visiting Rotarians

President Mark gave an introduction of our guest speaker, Elizabeth Horner, who has been the Director of Education for the Carlos Museum since 1990. She has both a BA and MA in Art History from Emory. She is also a resident of Decatur with her family.

She is the recipient of the Emory Distinguished Service Award, the National Art Education Association Museum Educator of the Year Award for the Southeastern Region and the Georgia Association of Museums and Galleries Museum Professional of the Year Award.

Mrs. Horner opened her presentation with a slideshow of some of the highlights of the King Tut Exhibit which is currently showing at the Atlanta Civic Center through May 25. She shared with the audience some of the examples of the three phases of the pharaohs from the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom and the New Kingdom.

The exhibit also gives the viewers a glimpse into the private lives of the pharaohs, with examples of their personal decorations for their palaces, their jewelry and even the way the buried their pet cats. She showed pictures of the jewelry boxes and golden flip-flops. Mrs. Horner also shared with us some of the details from the companion exhibit of photographs of the excavation project of King Tut's tomb from the 1920's by Howard Carter. That exhibit is showing at the Carlos Museum on the Emory campus.

Following our speaker's talk, President Mark presented the DeKalb Library System with Tutankhamun, the Goldern King and the Great Pharaohs by Zahi Hawass in our speaker's honor.
