In 1923 two cases of Egyptian artefacts arrived in Reading.\u00a0 They had been excavated in Egypt over a decade earlier.\u00a0 Drawing on original archives, this exhibition reveals the story behind these objects \u2013 their initial discovery and distribution, and the colonial occupation that tied Britain and Egypt together.\u00a0 It will highlight some of the key individuals, both British and Egyptian, who played a role in the history of archaeology in Egypt, and explore how traces of this history can be found in Reading.<\/p>\n

For “Egypt in Reading”, the Ure Museum’s exhibition case is split into three sections, “Britain in Egypt”, “Excavating Egypt”, and “Egypt in Britain”.\u00a0 The three drawers located below each section of the case contain more objects relating to each individual section.<\/p>\n
