When

Monday 14 July from 10:30am to 12:30pm

In this audio descriptive tour, Dr Lisa Andrew will guide you through some of the collection from ancient Egypt at the Chau Chak Wing Museum with a focus on objects representing Egyptian religion and burial practices. You will visit the Pharaonic Obsessions exhibition and the museum’s Mummy Room.

We will begin the session through audio description of items in the collection and strategically using tactile objects in the gallery where you will get the chance to handle Egyptian antiquities. Participants are encouraged to engage in an informal discussion about the objects you are touching and hearing about.

One of the tour highlights will be a Middle Kingdom wooden model boat.

The group will meet Lisa in the museum foyer.
