Land of the Pharaohs exhibition at Segedunum Roman Fort
4th Jan, 2007 to 15th Dec, 2008
Land of the Pharaohs exhibition, Segedunum Roman Fort, Wallsend until September 8, 2008. The exhibition is a look at everyday life and death in ancient Egypt and includes a three-dimensional model of the face of the mummy of Bakt Hor Nekht, on loan from the city's Hancock Museum while the museum is closed for redevelopment. The coffin has never been opened, so as to preserve the mummy and also as a mark of respect. The exhibition includes objects loaned by the British Museum and the Oriental Museum at Durham.
