Description
Beyond Beauty will present the ancient Egyptians at their most varied and spectacular, while also allowing us to glimpse them at their most intimate and human.
This major new exhibition will not only explore the day-to-day routines of ancient Egyptians, it will also address the importance of appearance in the afterlife. Alongside extraordinary coffins and funerary head coverings will be their owners’ ancient mirrors, combs and hairpins, bracelets, necklaces, sandals, textiles, cosmetic vessels, scent jars and other ornaments, as well as tablets giving us insights into elite styles of the age, which have echoes in the fashion and lifestyle magazines we read today.
This exhibition will once again be accompanied by an events programme and Tangerine Dream will be on hand to run the exhibition café, which will sample traditional Egyptian cuisine, as well as featuring old favourites such as their infamous lemon drizzle cake and chocolate brownies.
