Brooklyn Museum and the Precinct of Mut

In January 2014 the Mut Precinct finally reopened after being closed to the public for almost 40 years. The opening was the result of the work of the Brooklyn Museum’s expedition to the Mut Precinct; the Johns Hopkins University’s Mut Expedition; and the American Research Center in Egypt (with a grant from USAID), which laid the paving and created walkways as well as funding the signage. What follows is a history of the goddess, the site, and Brooklyn’s work there.
