Mummy Marathon

This gallery talk marathon on the 125th anniversary of the opening of the tomb of "Bab el Gasus" will give great insight into our Ancient Egyptian collection and our mummies!

Gallery Talks led by Albany Institute Staff, Docents, and Guests

The mummy and coffin of Ankhefenmut was one of 200 coffins, nearly a hundred papyri, 110 boxes containing shabtis, 80 statuettes and burial goods discovered in the “Bab el-Gasus” tomb in 1891 beneath the first courtyard of the temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahri.

Join us for this relay-style, gallery talk marathon on the 125th anniversary of the opening of the tomb to learn more about ancient Egyptian priests and priestesses, coffins, and burial rituals.
