Art and Life in Ancient Egypt: the Nebamun Wall Paintings
A new online course with the Open University
To mark the opening of a new gallery housing these famous
ancient Egyptian paintings (now fully conserved), the Museum and
the Open University present a course for art lovers, historians and
anyone with an interest in ancient Egypt.
Using a wide range of online resources, including close-ups of
the paintings in detail and filmed interviews about the paintings,
the course explores daily life in ancient Egypt, alongside art
appreciation and other issues of reception.
An OU Certificate of Successful Completion is presented on
finishing the course and learners can build on it to gain credit
points within an OU qualification. The course takes around 30 to 40
hours to complete.
