What to expect

You'll move through a series of chamber spaces designed to replicate authentic Egyptian tombs and temples. Walls are covered in hieroglyphic text and carved reliefs; display cases hold jewellery, amulets, vessels, and figurines made by Egyptian craftspeople using age-old techniques. You'll see preserved mummified remains—both human and animal—positioned as they would have been in actual burials. The lighting is subdued to create atmosphere, and information panels explain what you're looking at. Budget 1–2 hours; there's no strict time limit.
