In today’s tour, we will focus on depictions of the gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt. While we will talk about some you may have heard of, such as Osiris and Isis, we will also look at a few of the lesser-known gods, including the Mnevis Bull and Mut. Along the way, we will consider the various forms these deities took, as well as the abilities associated with them.

This event is free and open to all visitors.
