An Ancient Egyptian’s Story

Your class will join us to visit the Ancient Egypt gallery to meet Djedma'atiuesankh, a young Ancient Egyptian who died around 650BC. Together, we’ll find out more about her life using primary and secondary sources. We'll explore mummification through a science experiment that pupils can continue in school.

As part of this session, children will consider how colonialism equipped our museums with the knowledge of lives in Ancient Egypt and think about how this makes them feel. This workshop uses enquiry-based learning to encourage children to connect and empathise with Djedma'atiuesankh through a combination of research, discussion and structured debate.
