Vivian Davies, Keeper of the Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan at the British Museum, has kindly arranged for EES Members to have a private viewing of the Museum's 'Book of the Dead' exhibition which opens next week. This will be on the evening of Monday 10 January 2011 and full details of how to book will be sent to Members in the Autumn mailing. This will be a great opportunity for EES Members to visit the exhibition in the more relaxed atmosphere of an evening viewing and we are very grateful to Vivian, and the Trustees of the British Museum, for offering us this opportunity.
There will be an article about the exhibition by its curator, Dr John Taylor, in Egyptian Archaeology 37 (due out in November).
