I head straight to the Egyptian gallery which is located in the section Old Kingdom to 18th dynasty Egyptian galleries 3rd floor.

“People are taking photographs without any kind of artistic intent, and you get a fantastic index of how they are thinking. It’s like an unintentional masterpiece” (Umbrico). Penelope Umbrico says she has always been repurposing things and putting found objects together (“Penelope Umbrico Interview”). She had always had an interest in illusionary spaces (“Penelope Umbrico Interview”). Because of this, she was determined to find what subjects were the most frequently tagged and photographed. With
