The Mummy: From Fact to Fiction

Evening Course: The Mummy: From Fact to Fiction Jane Hack, Learning Manager at Bristol Museums

When: Thu 3 Oct, 19:00-21:00

Where: The Little Theatre Cinema Event Space

The evening course begins with the first ‘true mummification’ over 4,500 years ago in ancient Egypt, and unwraps the ensuing history of ‘the mummy’ from fact to fiction.

The facts include the mythological and cultural origins of mummification in ancient Egypt, together with the processes involved.

This is contrasted with how ‘the mummy’ is presented in popular culture, including horror films and literature.

This two hour course by Bristol Museum's Jane Hack is an excellent way to explore everything you think you know about 'the mummy'...

Refreshments are available at the cinema kiosk.
