Spotlight Day: Tutankhamun

Tutankhamun was born over 3300 years ago into a family at the apex of Ancient Egyptian society. He ruled for no more than a decade, much of that time through regents who governed for the ‘boy king’.

When his short life was over he was buried in an insignificant tomb in the floor of the Valley of the Kings surrounded by his illustrious ancestors and later by the great kings that would follow him.

In 1922 the almost intact tomb of this almost unknown king was rediscovered and he suddenly became a household name, inspiring films, songs, fashions, architecture, comics, and hundreds of books conjecturing over his life and death. But how much do we actually know about this young man who lived and died so very long ago?

In this spotlight day we will be looking at what we can really know about Tutankhamun. Using primary sources and the most up to date research we will explore who he was, how he lived, and how he might have died. We’ll dispel some of the popular myths about Tutankhamun as well as opening up some new questions which have yet to be answered.

The spotlight day will last 11am-4pm with a break for lunch. Tickets cost £25 and we recommend purchasing in advance.

Dip Into Pride Bath Open Day

The Dip Into Pride Bath was first conceived last year when Laura McCann was curating an exhibition for Pride and wanted to include an interactive installation that would encourage people to immerse themselves in the spirit of equality.

Laura asked mosaic artist Natasha Ellis to bring the idea to life and since then the bath has been on display around the city. This is your opportunity to have your photo taken in the bath ahead of this year’s Pride. Your photo will be taken by Laura who has recently been shortlisted for the annual Taylor Wessing Photography Portrait Prize at The National Portrait Gallery in London.

Event

This will be a very rare chance for you to be involved in this project before the bath is ultimately sold with all proceeds going to the Liverpool based charity, Sahir.
