I was talking about whether art is universal with my other friend the 
other day. There's an exhibition of Egyptian relics currently on in the 
museum, and she was using it as proof of the existence of universal art: 
it had been made for the purpose of being beautiful, and beautiful was 
how she found it, despite knowing almost nothing about Egyptian culture 
or what the Egyptian way of life would have been.
