Hatshepshut: From Queen to Pharoah

Author: The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Stars: 5
Review by: Mandy Apgar


One of the best, of not the best, museum catalogs I've read. A life-and-times cultural biography of Hatshepsut, the Egyptian queen to eventually usurped the throne and became a pharaoh. Very large book overall, with a good amount of literary content, and of course a large amount of pieces related to her and her family. Not just from the Met, which has a whole series of rooms dedicated to her, but museums all over.
