The start of a new term is drawing close and with it the launch date of our new MA. While we’re busy polishing and editing video lectures, devising activities and compiling assessments, we found a little time to film some new material in the Manchester Museum for our incoming MA students, looking at some objects associated with festivals in ancient Egypt. Luckily, our visit in the stores coincided with a visit by the very talented photographer Julia Thorne (whose website can be found here: https://tetisheri.co.uk/) who took a series of “behind-the-scenes” photos which we thought it would be fun to share:

Lights, cameras, action!
