Ancient Worlds: Egyptians

 
This popular workshop explores our archaeology collections.

Go on an action-packed adventure where pupils learn about the mummified person, Nesyamun, seek real Ancient Egyptian treasures and mummify Suny the Egyptian boy.

In this workshop, students will explore our Ancient Worlds gallery, completing a treasure hunt to help a mummified person reach the afterlife – they’ll them discuss with a facilitator the life of the mummified person in the museum. When returning to the education space, students will take part in their own mummification: working as a team to prepare and wrap a doll for their journey into the afterlife. 

This workshop can be made virtual if more suitable, please contact us to discuss this option.

Suitable for: Early Years, KS1, KS2
