National Museums Liverpool
Warehouse Store Tour



In September, WAES members enjoyed a trip to NML's (National Museums Liverpool) offsite storage facility. Dr Ashley Cooke kindly took us behind the scenes, wonderfully accompanied by Dr Gina Muskett. We were able to see how antiquities are preserved and catalogued, and we had a handling session with legacy items from the Wellcome Trust collection, as discussed by Dr Ken Griffin in his September Zoom lecture to WAES.

Thanks to Cheryl Tempest for organising this.

Creatures of the Nile


We had an organised a tour of the 'Creatures of the Nile' exhibition at the VG&M on Thursday 25th July.
Dr Juliet Spedding who is a co-curator of the exhibition and a post-doctoral researcher on the BEAST project. (Biodiversity in Egyptian Archaeology during Societal Transitions) gave us an introduction to the exhibition and the project.


It features the Egyptian and Sudanese collections of the Garstang Museum of Archaeology, with additional artefacts on loan from National Museums Liverpool and Manchester Museum.

Book Sales



At each meeting in the Mayer Hall we have a selection of Egyptology books for sale, at very reasonable prices.

There is also a selection of wonderful items produced by Steve Tasker.
All Profits to WAES.
