Ancient egypt
Discover an ancient civilisation on this visit. Children will be split into groups which rotate around 3 different sessions. Each session is delivered by an enthusiastic member of our experienced education team.
SESSION 1: Marianne Brocklehurst tour
Discover our Ancient Egyptian Collection on this interactive tour with a costumed interpreter – Marianne Brocklehurst. Artefacts will be introduced and explained in the context of Marianne’s journeys to Egypt. Children get to be Egyptologists and uncover the meaning of the hieroglyphs on the mummy case.
SESSION 2: OBJECT HANDLING
Handle replica artefacts similar to those from our Ancient Egyptian collection. Children can work creatively in groups to explore the artefacts and to produce a timeline for a canopic jar.
SESSION 3: Anubis Headdress
What is an Anubis headdress? Children will be able to make one, discuss the materials that would have been used, the representation of Anubis and the role of the priests in the temples in Ancient Egypt. A great opportunity to be creative.
