Continuing Heritage Key's efforts to showcase Egyptology's amazing archives, we'll be travelling to London's Petrie Museum tomorrow to meet curator Stephen Quirke for a trip through the museum's memory lanes. Named after the world-famous archaeologist who donated most of its many Egyptian treasures in 1913, the museum has amassed a wealth of amazing artefacts third in size only to Cairo Museum, the British Museum and Berlin's Agyptisches Museum. And that's not to mention the vast, fascinating banks of photos, letters and notebooks from Petrie, Amelia Edwards and co's at the turn of the 20th century - the Age of Discovery.
