Bolton Museum is celebrating its record sellout run of Egypt Study Days this summer by introducing a new themed event to tie in with an upcoming exhibition.
After hosting its first successful Egypt study day on mummification in July, the museum were quick to host a second Egypt study day in September due to fast sales, high attendance, and positive feedback.
Both events have been hugely successful, drawing in visitors from all over the country – from London, Cornwall, Newcastle, and Scarborough – with lots of positive feedback collected.
One attendee commented that the event was “superior” to a similar event they attended in London, with another commenting on how “excellent” the presentations and interactive workshops were.
The next study day will be focused on a different topic linked with Bolton’s Egypt series, expanding on the mummification talks and workshops delivered by Egyptologists in the most recent events.
Bolton Museum promises another entertaining and fulfilling day with intriguing lectures from world-renowned professors in the field, practical workshops, and hands-on experience.
The new study day will also be launched alongside a new exhibition that will be coming to Bolton’s Egypt collection early next year – with details being revealed soon.
This successful series comes at an exciting time for Bolton, having recently won Greater Manchester’s Town of Culture this year, as well as launching a new Visitor Economy Accelerator Programme in partnership with Marketing Manchester.
