Egypt

Perth gallery competition

Perth Now

I am not going to be here on Saturday, so there will be no Saturday Trivia. Here's one that would normally be in that section - it's a rather nice idea, but only of any practical interest if you live in Australia. The Art Gallery of Western Australia (Perth) is running a competition aimed at younger visitors.

The Art Gallery of Western Australia's Egyptian antiquities from the Louvre- journey to the Afterlife exhibition is closing soon so don't miss your chance to see this magnificent collection of Egyptian artefacts for free!

All you have to do is download the Egyptian Mummy Mask, decorate and colour it in, and present this at the Art Galley of Western Australia ticket desk for free entry for those under the age of 12 accompanied by an adult.

Each day the mask judged as the ‘best decorated’ will win an awesome Egyptian Antiquities prize from the Art Gallery shop.
