Please be advised that this exhibition includes sensitive subject matter, including the display of human and animal remains. In a separate gallery, there are five mummified individuals, the woman Ta(net)kharu or Tadis, the young girl Sensaos, the man Harerem, an unknown male and an unknown female.
Visitors have the option to bypass this gallery if they prefer.
While these remains are in the Museum’s care, we honour them with respect and dignity. We have consulted with First Nations groups and Egyptian–Australian communities about their display.
We approach this matter with a deep sense of responsibility and the trust placed in us. The existence of these remains encourages contemplation of profound questions about life, death, and the evolution of funerary rites and practices over time.
We hope the exhibition prompts visitors to reflect on these same big questions.
