The Mummy: From Fact to Fiction

Explore the world of Ancient Egypt with Bristol Museum's Jane Hack, beginning with the first ‘true mummification’ over 4,500 years ago in ancient Egypt, to the ensuing history of ‘the mummy’ from fact to fiction.

This 45 minute talk is a fascinating insight into how ‘the mummy’ has been presented in popular culture, including horror films and literature.
