Brooklyn Museum: Magic in Ancient Egypt - Image, Word and Reality

I really want to check this exhibit out in the Brooklyn Museum of Art.

Now, I dunno if it's:

a) my fascination (not a deep one, I admit) with ancient cultures
b) all the t.v. shows and movies I have watched since I was a kid, where going to an exhibit like this usually ends up with a Mummy rising or some ancient curse being unleashed in the world
c) (not-so) deep down, I'm just a little geek at heart,

but I can't help but get a little tingle in the spine thinking about it. In my mind's eye, I'm expecting a dark, atmospheric, Indiana Jones-ish kind of setting for the exhibit, but I'm pretty sure it's nothing like that at all. But hey, one can always imagine right?
