Discovering Ancient Egypt: After Hours

Discover Ancient Egypt after hours every Friday night in February when the Queensland Museum stays open until 8:30pm, giving visitors a unique opportunity to explore ancient Egyptian artefacts and culture after dark.

Queensland Museum will come alive on Friday nights with the incredible Discovering Ancient Egypt exhibition transforming into a dazzling nighttime experience, with a pop-up Pyramid Bar, expert talks and more.

Step into the Temple of Taffeh, read excerpts from rare Book of the Dead scrolls, explore the rituals in pursuit of everlasting life, and join experts in Pyramid Talks (tickets sold separately).

Renowned Egyptologists, anthropologists, and historians will discuss the secrets of ancient Egypt, from tomb discoveries and curses, pyramids and pop culture, Egyptian Revival jewellery to sexuality and gender in the ancient world. These talks offer fascinating insights and a chance to ask the experts your burning questions.

The Pyramid Bar will be open from 5:30pm with refreshing drinks, Middle Eastern-inspired fare and funky beats on offer. Why not pre-purchase a platter for two with your tickets to the Discovering Ancient Egypt exhibition or one of the Pyramid Talks?

With a pop-up Pyramid Bar, fascinating expert talks, and after-hours exhibition access, your Friday evening experience at Queensland Museum is perfect for soaking in the stories of a civilisation that continues to captivate the world.
