A #CelebratorySelfie from the #BoltonsEgypt team. We are very proud to be shortlisted for the #MandHAwards - congratulations to all those who have been shortlisted 🌟🌟🌟

Tomorrow evening is the #MandHAwards and Libs and Museums is up for Best Permanent Exhibition for #BoltonsEgypt in partnership with @CreativeCoreHQ We hope we’ve shown what smaller (often Local Authority) museums can do. We are so proud 🤞

Sad to hear the passing of Prof Barry Kemp

Objects from excavations under his directorship at Amarna were the last to enter the #BoltonsEgypt coll

Never got chance to meet him in person & he never got chance to see the galleries, but his name in hieroglyphs will always be here

First day volunteering at Libs and Museums! Yes, that is a fancy scarab pin. #boltonmuseum #BoltonsEgypt

“Wow mummy, it’s beautiful in here!” 😍

The words of a 3 year old visiting the #Bolton sEgypt galleries for the first time…

Sometimes I love working in the gallery rather than the office!
Busy in here today too!

Thanks so much Libs and Museums the new look museum is beautiful 💜 #BoltonsEgypt

Giving #BoltonsEgypt a shout out. We tried to play with the idea of what a museum could look like - and every room is a surprise. #MuseumHour

Unexpectedly emotional at tonight’s opening Libs and Museums. Just so nice to have our local museum spaces back open again. And how amazing do they look? #BoltonsEgypt

I've just had the most wonderful evening celebrating the opening of #BoltonsEgypt at Libs and Museums. Thank you to Museum Ian, Sam Elliott and Pierrette Squires for letting me get involved with some of the most stunning galleries I've ever seen - it's been an absolute honour ❤️

Great day chronologically organising jewellery for Libs and Museums- there are a lot of absolutely stunning pieces! #Bolton sEgypt #Bolton #AncientEgypt #Egyptology

Very touched to have received a gift parcel from the #BoltonsEgypt team after helping in the installation of their new #AncientEgypt gallery. It really was a pleasure to work alongside such a fab team, and cannot wait to start wearing my new Bolton's Egypt pin! ☺️ 🎁

What an amazing place Libs and Museums is! I loved the Egyptian collection, particularly the cat plaque from Hathor Temple, cat figurines and cat mummies 🇪🇬🐈

.Libs and Museums featured on Good Morning Britain & ITV Granada Reports today in a debate about mummies being displayed in museums. Children from Eagley Junior School gave their thoughts 😊

Have you been to #BoltonsEgypt yet?

Bolton's male mummy and his mismatched coffin (intended for a woman named Tayuhenet) was once offered to Manchester Museum in 1930 but was refused because we had 'too many mummies already' #BoltonsEgypt #mummies
