Explore the lives and legacies of ancient Egyptian rulers—from Menkaura in the Old Kingdom to Hatshepsut in the New Kingdom—and learn how these monarchs created and used their own images to achieve and retain political power, just as we fashion public personas today. Educators engage with object-based teaching strategies and classroom planning using the MFA’s permanent collection and artworks in the special exhibition “Maverick Kings: Three Visionary Pharaohs of Egypt’s Golden Age.” Admission to the MFA, light refreshments, and discounted parking are included.
