Ashmolean After Hours: Pharaoh Friday Highlights

After Hours event at the Ashmolean Museum 

Part of the Humanities Cultural Programme 

Held on Friday 18th November, 5.00pm-8.00pm

Egypt has inspired so many generations in so many ways - with the centenary of the re-discovery of King Tutankhamun's Tomb in November 1922, we brought together artists and researchers to commemorate Egypt and its influence on the world around it. Watch the highlights below from an exciting evening of Egypt inspired performances, games and bite-sized talks in collaboration with the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.
