About Golden Mummies of Egypt

Golden Mummies of Egypt was an exhibition featuring objects from the collection at Manchester Museum, focusing on Roman-period culture in Egypt. The exhibition was designed by Nomad Exhibitions and travelled to the United States and China during 2020 and 2021, and returned to Manchester Museum in 2022.

My part in the project was to photograph over 100 of the objects in the exhibition. The photos have been used as part of the exhibition display panels, for promotion of the exhibition, and as part of an accompanying book, written by Dr Campbell Price and published by Nomad Exhibitions.
