Record breaking crowds flock to see the Pharoah

Date: 15 Dec 2011

The wonders of ancient Egypt are visiting Leeds City Museum as part of a major national exhibition and the crowds keep on flocking. The exhibition called Pharaoh: King of Egypt features over 130 objects from the British Museum collection and will be on show until Sunday 17 June 2012 at the museum off Millennium Square and admission is free. The visitor  figures are the highest first-week numbers of any exhibition held at the museum off Millennium Square in its history and second-only to the official opening in September 2008. Explore the lives of the Pharaohs and their role as head of state, chief priest and commander of the army covering the realities of ruling a complex society and dealing with issues such as international diplomacy, tomb-robbing, civil war and foreigners on the throne. These stories will be told using objects and artefacts spanning over 3,000 years of history including stunning palace decorations, sculpture, jewellery and papyri. The exhibition will feature audio-visual displays, interactive exhibits and family trails. It will also be the first major special exhibition of its type to be on display in the museum’s central Leeds Arena. The exhibition will also complement the famous ‘Leeds Mummy’ Nesyamun, who is on permanent display in the ‘Ancient Worlds’ section of the museum. Come along for family events and activities: Kings, Queens, Emperors and Pharaohs 6 - 8 June (11am - 3pm) Come along and make crafts themed around Kings, Queens, Emperors and Pharaohs.
