Journey to the West with Gay Robins

Coffin of Tahat

The Carlos Museum runs a regular podcast called ‘Carlos Conversations’. The podcasts are accompanied by photos and artwork enriching the experience.

Host Sandy Goldberg of Antenna Audio holds an intimate conversation with Dr. Gay Robins, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Art History at Emory, in which they explore the imagery on the Museum’s Coffin of Tahat scene by scene. As they hear Dr. Robins and view the detailed images on their iPod or computer, listeners will understand the ancient Egyptian conception of the coffin as a microcosm of the universe, with the deceased at the center.
