Made in Ancient Egypt

From elaborately decorated coffins to the Books of the Dead, ancient Egyptians produced objects which remain iconic today. But who were the makers behind them and how were they made?

Revealing the untold stories of the Egyptian makers, technology and techniques behind these extraordinary objects, our exciting new exhibition is the first to explore ancient Egypt through the lives of its craftspeople, bringing together jewellery, ceramics, sculpture and more, including spectacular objects never before seen in the UK.

From the domestic to the divine, discover how these captivating artefacts were made and meet the makers behind them. Egypt exhibition brings to life fascinating cutting-edge research which sheds new light on the ancient Egyptians’ technical processes, many of which are immediately recognisable today, as well as how they lived, worked and worshipped.
