But you can now go and if you go early and you run up to the gallery, you can pretty much get...
get the mask to yourself, everything is there.
And it's beautifully lit, beautifully explained, beautifully displayed with lots of space.
Because in the old museum, you had to jostle.
You still have to jostle on a busy day.
But that's why having those experiences where you're relatively alone and unaccompanied is really special.
Yes, we've got several of them here.
William, actually, you should come and see.
these are these perfect late Egyptian Roman period yeah paintings portraits probably done during life I'm sceptical about that as well I think they're stock images we're seduced by them because these look so lifelike but I'm writing a book on that subject the way we have faced the ancient Egyptians
Thanks for asking, Anita.
So next to me here on my desk is a replica of a very striking piece, arguably the most famous
out of the four and a half million specimens we have here at Manchester University Museum.
And this is a chap called Neb Ewe, who lived about 4,000 years ago and who could never have imagined his fame in 2013.
I was going into the gallery, which was new in Manchester, newly opened, and I noticed he was in a different position
every morning he was rotating in his case but the case was locked and alarmed and I had the only key so I thought someone's playing a trick on me so we set up a stop motion camera which took a photo every minute for a week and it showed that he was spinning at night
And so we put the 53 second clip online and this went viral, was seen by 100 million people.
No, it was sadly because of vibration from traffic outside and footfall in the gallery during the day the movement was greater.
Yes, we did.
For about a week because news gets old fast.
People brought in lottery tickets.
