Discover what life was like living by the Nile, Egyptian style!
Ready to make a mummy? Paint a tomb, or try your hand at hieroglyphics? Then join Auckland Musem for a magical night as they whisk you back over 3,000 years to a time when the pharaohs ruled Egypt.
Welcome to Night at Auckland Museum: Wonders of Egypt, where ancient characters come alive to show you the many wonders of their mighty and fascinating civilisation – from the gilded reign of pharaohs to the daily life of workers, farmers and artists.
Try on the headgear worn by the pharaoh and learn about the role of the high priests, then jump into everyday Egyptian life, trying their cuisine and even their rather unusual medical remedies – if you’re brave enough!
Get that authentic Nile style with a crash-course in Egyptian beauty and adornments. Then delve into the rituals of the afterlife, discovering the secrets of protective amulets and art of tomb painting. Finally, it’s time to summon your courage to enter the mysterious ‘tent of purification’ to witness the intricate rituals of mummification – not at all scary of course!
With two floors of actor-led activities, bring your torch and unlock the mysteries and marvels of this ancient civilisation in a night of family fun for all ages.
