Welcome to the M.A. Mansoor Amarna Collection Web Site
Welcome to the M.A. Mansoor Collection of Amarna Era art. This world-renowned collection is justifiably honored as one of the most extraordinary single groupings of Egyptian art in existence. Pieces of the Amarna Collection are included in the permanent collections of the Louvre and the Denver Art Museum and San Francisco State University.
We hope that you enjoy the site. If there's anything that we could do to improve the site and the presentation of the collection, please let us know. Contact us here.
On Reading, it would seem that just about the last word has
been said on the subject. I should think you would be well content with the expert opinions expressed by Dr. Kirk,
Dr. Arnal and others. I don't think there is much point in getting another opinion, even though it is from a person
connected with a prominent institution.
Rutherford J. Gettens, Curator of the Research Laborator of the Freer Gallery of Art
in a letter addressed to Dr. Fred H. Stross.
