This wooden stela of an unknown woman is part of a National Museums Scotland Exhibition on Ancient Egypt which comes to Perth Museum and Art Gallery
A NEW exhibition will demonstrate how the ancient civilisation of Egypt has captivated Scots for the past 200 years.
Discovering Ancient Egypt is a National Museums Scotland touring exhibition which will examine Scotland’s contribution to Egyptology through the lives of three remarkable Scots – Alexander Henry Rhind, Charles Piazzi Smyth and Annie Pirie Quibell – whose work in the field helped to improve our understanding of ancient Egyptian culture.
Items on display include a guardian figure of a falcon (right) and a wooden stela of an unknown woman (above).
The exhibition is at Perth Museum and Art Gallery from January 25 until May 3 2020.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
