Explore the finest artefacts the world has to offer at this highly-anticipated exhibition from the British Museum in London. Come face to face with the “unlucky mummy” falsely rumoured to have sunk the Titanic, marvel at gold jewellery from ancient Mesopotamian graves and be fascinated by the magical transformation mask from the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America.
