Show wraps up mummies

AN exhibition of Egyptian treasures never before seen in the UK is going on display at the National Museum of Scotland next year.

The artefacts are on loan from the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden, the Netherlands, and will be shown alongside objects from the Capital’s own collection.

Dubbed Fascinating Mummies, the exhibition runs at the National Museum of Scotland from February 11 until May 27.

A spokesperson said: “Fascinating Mummies is an unmissable exhibition of significant treasures from the world famous Egyptology collections of the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden.

“This will be the only opportunity to see this intriguing exhibition in the UK.”

Entry costs £9 (£7.50), with children’s tickets £6.
