“Eternal Life – Exploring Ancient Egypt” exhibition to introduce six Egyptian mummies between 3,000 and 1,800 years old will be held at the Hong Kong Science Museum from 2 June to 18 October. Along with the mummy displays and around 200 invaluable objects, digital interpretation of the mummies demonstrates how non-invasive computerised tomography allows archaeologists and other specialists to determine the age and gender of the mummified bodies, and to learn more about the diet, state of health, mummification process and religious practices of the ancient Egyptians. In order to further enhance visitors’ experience and provide an in-depth understanding of the meaning of the afterlife in ancient Egyptian society, the museum has designed and developed a multimedia programme and a series of interactive exhibits using the latest technologies, such as 3D projection mapping, virtual reality and holograms, to decipher the myths behind the statues and symbols, and to comprehensively illustrate the technological development of ancient Egypt. Know more about the exhibition here. |
