Topics: Ancient Egyptians
Our Ancient Egypt Collection is on display at Hawick Museum.
In partnership with the National Museum of Scotland, we have developed a range of learning and engagement resources designed to support teaching with ancient Egyptian collections.
We are delighted to share these resources for use in your own learning and engagement programmes. Please note that the materials should not be edited, and all acknowledgements to the National Museum of Scotland must remain in place.
