A global dialogue is taking place around the custodianship and display of culturally sensitive materials.
Artefacts from Egypt form a major part of historical collections around the world, and museums are increasingly recognising the ongoing connection that the people of Egypt have with their dispersed cultural and ancestral heritage.
This conversation, with researchers, museum professionals and the curators of the 'Discovering Ancient Egypt' exhibition, will explore issues such as historic collecting practices, evolving approaches to interpretation and display, the ethics of archaeology, and the repatriation of Egyptian material heritage.
Featuring Egyptologist Dr Melanie Pitkin, bioarchaeologist Professor Ronika Power, Egyptologist and exhibition curator Dr Daniel Soliman in conversation with National Museum of Australia senior curator Craig Middleton.
Thursday 9 May, 6:00-7:30pm AEST
