The Extraordinary life of Amelia Edwards

The Petrie Museum is celebrating International Women’s Day by honouring Amelia Edward’s contributions to Egyptian archaeology and the Petrie Museum with the new installation of her bust against an image of her study, followed by a one-woman show written and performed by the actress Kim Hicks.

Kim Hicks has enjoyed a wide-ranging career, on radio, TV, film and stage. She was inspired to bring Amelia Edwards back to life in celebration of her 175th birthday.

This event is organised by the Friends of the Petrie Museum to celebrate the life of Amelia Edwards and support the world-class museum of Egyptian and Sudanese antiquities.
