More information from organisers:

Young V&A’s new exhibition will take visitors on an exciting journey through the ancient past to modern day. The show explores how stories and images of ancient Egypt continue to fascinate and influence art, design and popular culture today.

The show is told across three sections exploring themes of imagining, communicating and making. Gods will guide each step of the way, Making Egypt will journey through the Nile, inviting visitors to uncover ancient Egypt’s myths and gods and the landscape that inspired them.

Visitors will try their hand at deciphering the mysteries of hieroglyphs, discover meaning and messages communicated through colour, plus explore hands-on the making of objects that populated ancient Egypt.

Making Egypt will feature ancient artefacts, many on display for the first time, contemporary fashion, jewellery, comics, film, games, sculpture, ceramics and more from across V&A’s collection and beyond.
