Liverpool World Museum’s new Egyptian Gallery opens December 5
November 4, 2008 · Filed Under Ancient Egypt, Exhibitions and Meetings
The new permanent exhibition contains 1,500 items and covers life in Egypt from the time of Menes, the first king, who reigned 3000 years BC, through to the time of the pharaohs, and on to the periods of the Greek and Roman occupations.
A exquisitely embroidered multi-coloured linen battle girdle worn by the last of Egypt’s great battling pharaohs, Ramses III, will form the centerpiece of Liverpool World Museum’s new Egyptian gallery. The girdle would have been donned by Ramses as he proudly rode his war chariot on campaigns against invaders. Only two similar such items exist.
