This beautiful book, Golden Mummies of Egypt by Campbell Price presents a rich perspective on Egyptian mummies and Western approaches to them.

Based around an exhibition of the Manchester Museum's collection and informed by the history of its development, Campbell Price's treatment, with stunning photography by Julia Thorne, offers many new insights into ancient practices and their modern interpreters.

Developed and produced in partnership with Nomad Exhibitions, Golden Mummies of Egypt, explores beliefs about the afterlife during an era when Egypt was part of the Greek and Roman worlds.

Golden Mummies of Egypt is our opening exhibition. This one-of-a-kind cultural experience opens in February 2023.

    Suvenir from my favourite exhibition

    I was persuaded to get the book when I've read the notes directing to it in Mumified. I'm not disappointed.

    Excellent book

    This is a really superb book. The text is clearly written and very informative. The illustrations and photographs are of excellent quality. As it was a paperback I was not expecting such superb quality and was very pleasantly surprised. The author is clearly incredibly knowledgeable and has cut no corners in his research. The only problem is that it is almost impossible to tear oneself away from the book once one starts reading!

    Golden Mummies

    Pictures are superb but the text printed on blue and green backgrounds are difficult to read.
