The Egyptian gallery is really special – not only because of the large number of perfectly preserved artefacts it contains, but for the huge variety of objects on display.
Here you can marvel at enormous stone statues, tiny lucky charms, precious burial goods and entire coffins.
The cartonnage of Baktenhor is currently on loan to the British Museum for the Hieroglyphs: Unlocking Ancient Egypt exhibition.
Baktenhor will return to the Great North Museum: Hancock in spring 2023.
