The latest major exhibition at the British Museum showcases the museum's collection of Ancient Egyptian "Books of the Dead" - a rare and very fragile collection of spells on papyrus scrolls which were designed to guide the dead safely into eternal life.
The exhibition will include the longest Book of the Dead in the world, the Greenfield Papyrus, which is 37 metres long and has never been shown publicly in its entirety before.
The exhibition runs until 6th March 2011. Click here for further details and admission prices.
