Made in Ancient Egypt

until 12th April 2026
The Fitzwilliam Museum

From elaborately decorated coffins to the Books of the Dead, ancient Egyptians produced objects which remain iconic today. But who were the makers behind them and how were they made?

Revealing the untold stories of the Egyptian makers, technology and techniques behind these extraordinary objects, our exciting new exhibition is the first to explore ancient Egypt through the lives of its craftspeople, bringing together jewellery, ceramics, sculpture and more, including spectacular objects never before seen in the UK  

Although WAES is not planning a group visit, Jo's Zoom course -Materials of Design: Art and Crafts in Ancient Egypt would great to do if you are planning a visit
