LIFE AFTER DEATH IN ANCIENT EGYPT GALLERY
The objects displayed in the Life after Death in Ancient Egypt gallery all served as practical tools designed to help their owner make the journey from death to the afterlife and to provide for them for eternity. Ensuring eternal life was important for an ancient Egyptian.
A central display in the gallery is the set of nested coffins and mummy of Djed-djehuty-iuef-ankh, while the long wall case explains the journey of death and includes funerary models and canopic jars showcased alongside coffin lids.
