Collection Object
Fresco and Vessels of Daily Life
Not gold, not kings: bread moulds, beer jars and a painted fragment of a kitchen wall. These are the objects Egyptians actually touched — and they tell you more about dinner than any treasure ever could.
Our handling collection lets you lift replicas of these vessels in the Learning Lab. Real ones stay behind glass; your hands get the next best thing.
