They mentioned this on the TV the other night. I only got it in passing, but I *think* they were saying its a particularly special one because many of the pieces have never been in Japan before... maybe !?

Tokyo museums have hosted a few Egyptian exhibits in the past 10 years. I've visited many of them, all excellent.

I'd like to visit Egypt, but it's not as safe for a single traveler as Japan, so I think... probably musuem exhibits are fine! :)
