The display, located in a gallery space built as part of a $14.3 million site upgrade commissioned by the previous Labor government last year, features four preserved mummies and more than 100 ancient artefacts.
British Museum keeper John Taylor curated the exhibition and said the latest technology was used to give visitors an intimate view of a celebrated priest named Nesperennub, and an insight to life in Ancient Egypt from 2300BC to the 1st century AD.

Mr. Taylor has also identified some fragments found in storage in the archives that are from a very old Book Of The Dead. Very exciting times indeed!
