...magnificent treasures have been shown in Europe only three times since the grave's discovery in 1922. After the last exhibit, in 1981, the Egyptian government barred the artifacts from leaving the country. Now, after six years of negotiations with the Egyptian authorities, the Museum of Ancient Art in Basel, Switzerland, will offer a rare glimpse at the stunning artifacts buried with King Tut, who ruled from 1333 B.C. to 1323 B.C. - until his death at 18.

This superb exhibit sums up the artist's lifelong research into line, color and form, and displays his often mystic face-off with fear, death and the unknown. Even the exhibit's 121 paintings and drawings...
...much time to pursue his hobby--scuba diving. He's been busy restructuring the pharmaceutical division and integrating a diagnostics firm Roche acquired. The workload isn't likely to let up when in June he takes over as CFO at Syngenta, the world's largest agrochemicals company, based in Basel. Scala's first priorities: raising awareness and confidence among investors...
