Ancient Egypt Workshop:

Using our ancient Egyptian collections this workshop will build on the Big Question: Which is the most important ancient Egyptian artefact in Manchester Museum?

Through interactive challenges, pupils will:

Observe, handle, and describe artefacts

Wonder about what the artefacts could have been

Explain what artefacts are by matching labels

Connect what makes something important to an artefact

This 90 minute workshop will include object handling and facilitated time on the Egypt & Sudan Gallery, led by a member of our learning team. As part of a full-day visit, you will also have time to explore the museum with your class as part of a self-led visit.
