In this episode, we look at how the Museum got its Egypt collection and focus on a fascinating story of an Egyptian woman with a long-term case of mistaken identity. We learn about the three main ways that museums like ours acquired Egyptian taonga: through purchases, subscriptions and donations, and what it was like for New Zealand’s soldiers to be stationed in Egypt during both World Wars.
