About

Join conservator Kate Smith and Egyptologist Jen Thum for a discussion about the lives and afterlives of two Roman Egyptian funerary portraits, tracing their path from ancient burial to a modern museum collection. These portraits are now on view for the first time since 2022, when they were featured in the exhibition Funerary Portraits from Roman Egypt: Facing Forward.
