The Petrie Museum is home to 80,000 objects from ancient Egypt and Sudan, and many of these objects were excavated by Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie from sites across Egypt. This lecture will explore some of the lesser-known stories relating to the collection, and some of the characters who contributed to the foundation and care of the Petrie Museum over the past century.
