PHARAOH FRIDAY AFTER HOURS
A FREE After Hours event at the Museum, packed with entertainment
Join us for an exciting evening of Egypt-inspired performances, games and bite-sized talks.
Egypt has inspired so many generations in so many ways and the Museum's Egyptian galleries never cease to wow young and old alike.
With the centenary of the re-discovery of King Tutankhamun's Tomb in November 1922, we're bringing together artists and researchers to commemorate Egypt and its influence on the world at our November After Hours event.
