Known for her reconfigurations of antique rituals surrounding sacrifice and death, Hurlbut created an exhibition from the Royal Ontario Museum's own immense trove of research artifacts and spent nearly two years scouring its departments of Egyptology, paleobiology, mammology and ichthyology. The result is a tour-de-force of editing and formal design with over 400 objects ranging from Egyptian cat mummies to the very tools of death and mummification. Radiant in their Victorian vitrines, Hurlbut's treasures emanate an other-worldliness and, rather than instilling fear, invite contemplation. We reflect on the connections between life and death, art and science and beauty and knowledge. Ulana Baluk gives a critical analysis of the development of museums and museology from the mid-19th century on. Elizabeth McLuhan, Head of exhibits, gives an introduction to the installation.
