Unearth the secrets of the Ancient Egypt this summer holiday at Leeds Discovery Centre.

There are always surprising secrets and curiosities to uncover our museum collection store. Recently, museum curators were surprised to find a slide from a Victorian microscopist who had collected and preserved an Egyptian breadcrumb, believed to be up to 3,000 years old!

But what can it tell us about the past?

From tiny breadcrumbs to coffin fragments, join us for family craft activities inspired by this ancient civilization and explore Egyptian treasures in our store.
