Exhibition: Egyptian collection in Bexley

A NEW exhibition on ancient Egyptian pottery is causing a stir at Hall Place in Bourne Road, Bexley.

Following a £5.5m restoration project which was completed earlier this year, the Tudor house now has museum space good enough to take items on loan from other collections across the south east.

The new exhibition, which opens to the public on December 3, will include many of Bexley’s own exhibits, all of which have been verified by experts at the British Museum.

Two very early predynastic beakers, part of Bexley’s collection and more than 6,000 years old, have been also reconstructed by conservators at the Museum of London in preparation for the exhibition.

Other exhibits loaned to Bexley include mummified human remains, mummy bandages and shabtis.

Details of Hall Place (which looks like a stunning building, standing within 65 acres of land, and is definitely now on my list of "must see" places locally) are available from its website.

Unfortunately the article doesn't mention the exhibition's name, and neither does the Hall Place website.
