Show PostGreat to see my favourite Museum on Bluesky. They hold many items you don't see elsewhere, as Petrie kept everything he discovered at a time when others were only looking for "treasure". Intimate everyday objects, moulds for decorations from Amarna. Even what's thought to be a mouse trap, iirc.
Show PostLast chance to see... and unsee our display about the different Egypts that we all see. Closing tomorrow!
