Mr Henry Kim, project director at the Ashmolean Museum, leads you round the Ancient World floor and six new galleries of Ancient Egypt and Nubia at Britain’s oldest museum. The new galleries, designed by Rick Mather Architects, opened in November and feature state-of-the art lighting and showcases. They have allowed the museum to bring out of storage some of its most significant and delicate objects, and follow a celebrated redevelopment of the museum two years ago.

Mr Kim will describe how the Ashmolean has redisplayed its collections to tell the stories that have made Egyptology so popular and fascinating.
