Support the Egypt Centre
The Egypt Centre is Wales' only Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, attracting over 20,000 visitors annually. We use our collection of almost 6,000 objects to inspire learning for all and widen participation within and outside the Museum. We rely heavily on educational visits, shop sales, and donations as our main source of income. However, since the COVID-19 pandemic, the Museum has had to close for the foreseeable future, thus greatly affecting this income.
Because of the pandemic more people are turning to online resources, which may well become a permanent feature. Therefore, we are working hard to make the Egypt Centre more accessible online. This includes offering online Zoom lectures, revamping our online database, creating virtual trails of the collection, and providing educational resources for teachers, school children, and our volunteers. All of this costs money and we need your support more than ever!
