Description:
This fall, the MFAH Book Club looks to ancient Egypt and the Middle East with two internationally minded selections: Cleopatra: A Life (2010), a biography by Stacy Schiff, and My Name is Red (1998), a novel by Orhan Pamuk. Both reveal innumerable connections to specific works of art in the MFAH collections, as well as to broader humanistic themes.
Cleopatra: A Life (2010)
If you have read Cleopatra, A Life by Stacy Schiff, you are invited to participate in a guided tour featuring works of art, across a broad range of the MFAH collections, that evoke life in antiquity and timeless human themes.
