Making Egypt

Making Egypt invited visitors to journey through over 5,000 years of Egyptian culture, from the painted inner sarcophagus of Princess Sopdet-em-haawt to the influence of ancient design on contemporary icons like Minecraft and Moon Knight. Bringing together over 200 objects from the V&A’s world-renowned collection and rarely seen loans from across the UK, the exhibition traced how ancient Egypt continues to shape visual culture today.

Framed for younger audiences, the exhibition offered a vivid, multi-sensory encounter with history, exploring enduring themes of identity, creativity, and storytelling across time.
