The Young V&A will present an exhibition focusing on taking visitors on a journey through the ancient past to modern day, exploring how stories and images of ancient Egypt continue to influence art, design and popular culture today.
Told through three sections, Making Egypt explores themes of imagining, communicating and making, with the gods guiding each step of the way.
The exhibition will invite visitors to uncover ancient Egypt’s myths and gods and the landscape that inspired them as well as deciphering the mysteries of hieroglyphs, discover meaning and messages communicated through colour, plus explore hands-on the making of objects that populated ancient Egypt.
In order to explore this, the display will feature contemporary fashion, jewellery, comics, film, games, sculpture, ceramics and more from across V&A’s collection and beyond.
