Containing over 400 pieces, this exhibition covers almost 3000 years of Ancient Egyptian culture. It focuses on the complex role animals played within the civilisation, including their depiction in art, their role in the household and their symbolic representations in death and the afterlife.

The majority of the objects have been carefully transported from Paris, on loan from the extensive Louvre collection. With everything from amulets, sarcophagus, games and mummified animals, this is an unmissable exhibition which will keep the whole family engaged.
