Manchester Museum Curator’s Diary, 7th January 2009
Egypt at the Manchester Museum
Just before Christmas we installed a small display of amulets on the Afterlife gallery - the djed-pillar amulet on the right is one of the amulets on display.
Work continues at the Museum on the new Manchester Gallery, due to open in March 2009. The gallery will include objects from the Egypt collections illustrating the development of the collections in Manchester through the Manchester cotton merchant Jesse Haworth’s support of Flinder’s Petrie’s excavations in the late 19th Century. Jesse Haworth donated the Egyptian artefacts to the Museum in the early 20th Century.
