Note sull'episodio
Specialist on museums, Dr Anna Garnett, joins our host Charlotte Jordan at the Egypt Exploration Society. Explore how different types of Egyptian artefacts, including pottery, jewellery, shabtis, and tools, can help us understand daily life in ancient Egypt as well as the people behind the objects. We will take you behind the scenes of museum work, examining how objects are numbered, interpreted, and presented to the public. The discussion then ends on how these objects ended up in collections outside Egypt, considering excavation and distribution practices, and what it means for Egyptian material culture to be held in museums around the world.
