What’s New
Gallery Redevelopment Plans
The Egypt Centre has recently been awarded a Welsh Government Transformation Grant for a major redevelopment project. The improvements will see the:
Creation of more spaces for interactive experiences, including smellscapes and soundscapes;
Installation of automatic doors to the galleries to make them more accessible for wheelchairs;
New improved cases to display more objects and under better environmental/lighting;
New interpretation panels and labels to reflect current research.

Return of the Coffin
After 26 years of painstaking conservation work, the coffin of Ankhpakhered (reused by Djedher) has returned to the Egypt Centre. During its time in Cardiff, over 50 students worked on the coffin. It is beautifully decorated on both the exterior and interior with scenes of Egyptian deities and texts. The coffin will eventually go on display in the House of Death gallery following planned refurbishment.
