Six students in Mrs. Wix's Social Studies Class at Cumberland Trace Elementary have developed a new temporary exhibit for BRIMS. As part of their study of Ancient Egypt, students produced displays highlighting the culture and technoogy of that ancient civilization.  BRIMS is proud to display some of those works which include a larger than life mummy of Pharaoh Ramses II, a model of a pyramid, a model sarcophagus, and canopic jars used to hold the organs of the deceased.

A committee has been formed to develop a future vision for our museum and its outreach activities. Joe Napier is chairing this committee and has given a preliminary report at the October Board Meeting.  The committee has indentified three major goals that need to be tackled in the coming years -- seek a new location for the museum, create a sustainable source of funding, and expand outreach into the area schools.
