DESCRIPTION:In this digital age of collecting selfies and more on social 
 media\, what does immortality mean? Manchester Museum’s latest installat
 ion at Manchester’s Central Library\, Young\, Rich & Famous challenges u
 s to think of how we will be remembered after death and what we will lea
 ve behind. This marks a decade of partnership working between Manchester
  Libraries and Manchester Museum\, part of The University of Manchester.
  \n\nYoung\, Rich & Famous features some of the highlights of Manchester
  Museum’s Ancient Egypt and Sudan collection of over 18\,000 objects. Th
 e installation explores the stories and significance of life\, death and
  immortality in Egypt. \n\nMost of what survives from ancient Egypt come
 s from the tombs of the wealthy and reinforces the ideal of eternal yout
 h. Today\, we apply filters on Instagram and Snapchat for a desired look
 \, similarly ancient Egyptian tomb paintings\, statues\, coffins and mas
 ks show people as they hoped to appear\; just like their ageless gods an
 d goddesses. These objects were designed for the journey to and existenc
 e in the afterlife resulting in the popular impression of all Egyptians 
 being rich and perfectly youthful. However\, most ancient Egyptians were
  farmers and left no trace of their existence. \n\nYoung\, Rich & Famous
  is on display at Manchester’s Central Library.
