Harrogate Advertiser

THE Times magazine recently voted Francis Frith's 'Egypt' exhibition one of its top five museum visits in the north of England.

Anyone wanting to catch it shoud pop along to the Royal Pump Room Museum, Harrogate before September 14.

Included are photographs of Ancient Egyptian temples and monuments from the 19th century to the present day alongside many treasures from Harrogate’s Egyptology collection such as vases, jewellery, a mirror, amulets, scribe’s palette and weaponry inculding axes and maceheads.

You can discover about death and burial in the Egyptology: Scientific Investigation exhibition with mummy masks, shabti figures, canopic jars and objects linked to the Pharaohs.
