More re Ancient Egypt Gallery at Liverpool Museum

Now open, the new Ancient Egypt gallery is packed with over 1,300 objects on display, including animal mummies, ancient musical instruments and a tomb reconstruction based on a 4,000-year-old burial place.

There are five complete human mummies on display and you can even 'unwrap' a mummy without touching it, using a fascinating computer interactive. A must-see of object is the vividly-coloured belt of the last great Pharaoh, Ramses III, on permanent display for the first time since before the Second World War.
