The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology is part of University College London, and contains over 80,000 Egyptian and Sudanese artefacts. Established as a teaching resource in 1892, with the initial collection donated by novelist, journalist and traveller Amelia Edwards, professor and Egyptologist Sir William Matthews Flinders Petrie conducted many excavations and sold his collection to the University in 1913. Initially a resource for students and academics, it has been open to the general public, in its current location, since 2018.
There is so much jewellery here that you could be forgiven for thinking you were in Claire's Accessories! I've always said that I love the way the Egyptian birds did their eye make-up. I would...
Come
and take a walk in my shoes and I'll show you a reconstructed bead
net dress that may have been worn for dancing c.2400 BC, and was
thought to fit a girl of 12 and be worn naked. The hem would have
made the dress rattle as the girl jigged around, and it looks like
something Madonna or Lady Gaga would wear on stage nowadays! There
are also rat traps, shoes with toes, an adult female pot burial and a
copper mirror.
Remember, I will always be a writer before anything else, and have blogged about the Petrie Museum before, link:-
