Description

‘Egyptian hieroglyphs: unlock the mystery’ is a free exhibition exploring the incredible story of the international race to decipher hieroglyphs!

Following a blockbuster show at the British Museum, Lisburn Museum is proud to host a new touring exhibition telling the story of the Rosetta Stone, the decipherment of hieroglyphs and the unlocking of the secrets of the ancient Egyptians.

Join on a journey to unearth the central role hieroglyphs played in the life and afterlife of the Egyptians.

Explore this free family-friendly display featuring ancient interactives and Egyptian objects, on display for the first time in Northern Ireland.

You can also learn about Lisburn’s connection to the tomb of Tutankhamun and links to fine Egyptian linen in their gallery tours. And, their Egyptian-themed workshops explore life in Ancient Egypt and the curious connection between decipherment, code-breaking and weaving!

Free Entry.

28 June – 12 October 2023.

Monday to Saturday 9.30am-5pm.
