ABOUT
Introduction
"The exhibition explores the perennially fascinating subject of the ancient Egyptians’ attitudes to immortality. Through the objects and inscriptions found in their tombs – many of them more than 3000 years old – a window will be opened on to their hopes and fears about what lay beyond death and how ritual and magic were believed to enable them to pass through the dangers of the supernatural realm.
Drawing on the unparalleled collections of the British Museum, Secrets of the Afterlife offers a unique chance to see mummies, gilded masks, painted coffins, amulets and jewellery of the highest artistic quality. Visitors will also have the rare opportunity to see the actual texts of the magical spells and prayers which the Egyptians regarded as the key to eternal life.
