Families and individuals are invited to come along to the Museum for a free, fun evening devoted to ancient Egyptian attitudes to daemons, spirits of the dead and magic spells. We will have mummification demonstrations explaining how the Egyptians ensured that their dead made it successfully to the afterlife.
Come and play the ancient board game of senet, which as well as being a lot of fun, was believed to be a way of communicating with the world beyond! Our volunteers will be available to help those who wish to play. We will have a ‘Daemon Hunters Trail’ for older children and adults to hunt out the objects in our galleries associated with these liminal entities, as well as several trails suitable for younger children.
At 6pm there is a formal guided 'daemon' tour but for this particular activity numbers are limited to 10 so please sign up in advance (by contacting the Egypt Centre 01792 295960).
