Between the 1880s and 1980s, British excavations at locations across Egypt resulted in the discovery of hundreds of thousands of ancient objects that were subsequently sent to some 350 institutions worldwide. This book explores the politics, personalities, and social histories that linked fieldwork in Egypt with the varied organizations around the world that received finds. These finds included unique discoveries at iconic sites such as the tombs of ancient Egypt's first rulers at Abydos, Akhenaten, and Nefertiti's city of Tell el-Amarna and rich Roman Era burials in the Fayum.
By juxtaposing a diversity of sites for the Case studies range from Victorian municipal museums and women's suffrage campaigns in the United Kingdom to the development of some of the United States's largest institutions, and from university museums in Japan to new institutions in post-independence Ghana.
