About
Heritage Malta, working with the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in Leiden, brings a large collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts to the National Museum of Archaeology in Valletta. The exhibition looks beyond pyramids and pharaohs at everyday life, belief and ideas about death and the afterlife, with objects visitors can explore further using the Smartify app.
Alongside the main exhibition, Heritage Malta runs 'Write like an Egyptian' workshops and Juniors' Discovery Tours aimed at younger visitors, making this a good half-term or weekend outing for families interested in history.
