Journey Through the Afterlife: Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead:

British Museum 4 November 2010-6 March 2011

£12 admission-children free

There's a chance to see rare examples of the Book of the Dead, the Egyptian handbook to surviving the afterlife at the British Museum. Many of the linen and papyrus spells have not been seen before and may not be seen again for some time due to their fragile state. So its well worth a journey if you are keen on the mystical side of Egyptian life.

Special features of the exhibition include an introductory film and a family multimedia guide for young Egyptologists as well as hands on activities such as scarab badge making.
