Touch of Egypt at museum

Aug 29 2007 Paisley Daily Express

BUDDIES can find out more about their ‘mummies’ at a special event with more than a touch of Eastern promise.

Artefacts from ancient Egypt will go on show at a special hands-on exhibition in Paisley Museum.

And those who go along will get their just ‘desserts’ at the display which features the contents of an archaeologist’s trunk.

Items on show will include ornaments, sacred objects and household utensils from the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh as well as Paisley Museum’s own collection.

The exhibition opens at the Museum in the High Street on Thursday, September 6, before touring Renfrewshire communities in the New Year.
