Come and join us in raising a farewell toast to our much loved Ancient Egypt galleries, and take part in the spectacle that is… 'It’s a Wrap (for now)!
Let yourself be guided by gods and pharaohs into a celebration of music, film, poetry and performance. Hear the hieroglyphs, handle rarely-seen objects and get involved in a very special interactive message to the future… expect the unexpected! #hellofuture
