Home Education Day: Make A Mummy

How did the Ancient Egyptians make their famous mummies? Why did they do it and why was each step important? We’ll be exploring these questions with this interactive workshop for home-educating families!

Learn how the process of mummification worked with this hands-on workshop as we take you step by step through the practice.

This is a taught session: our learning team will be taking the whole group through the steps together.

This workshop is recommended for children aged 5-11 years but all ages are welcome.

Please note: parents are required to remain in attendance throughout this activity. This workshop uses modroc and can get messy so old clothes are reccomended!
