The Book of the Dead offers insights into ancient Egyptian beliefs about death and afterlife, and is a guidebook filled with spells and rituals meant to assist souls on their journey into eternity.

Delve deeper into everyday life with artifacts like a spoon crafted in the form of a nude girl swimming beside a rectangular basin—a testament to artistic craftsmanship that celebrated beauty even in mundane objects. Marvel at Queen Tiy's regal portrait from 14th century BC—an exquisite representation by artist Winifred Mabel Brunton that captures her grace and power.
