This is an intergenerational workshop, suitable for all ages and abilities. Everyone is welcome but young children will need adult help.
About
Join Rosie Fuller and explore the meanings hidden behind broken items in our collection, and explore how archaeology can help unearth these stories. Use your own imagination to create your very own breaking ritual with craft and creative writing, and embrace the idea of breaking something on purpose.
This event accompanies the display 'Broken, Burnt, Buried: Ritual Lives of Objects in Egypt' at the Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology, exploring how ancient Egyptians transformed everyday items through ritual practices - 22 July 2025 to 16 May 2026.
Access
Accessible to wheelchair users and those with limited mobility from street level via a lift in the adjacent UCL Science Library. Upon arrival at the museum, visitors requiring lift/level access should ring the buzzer labelled ‘Museum’ located to the right of the main museum entrance. A member of our visitor services team will meet and escort you to the galleries via our level access route. Assistance is also available in reverse when exiting the museum.
Level access between the Pottery and Main Gallery spaces is available via a staff-operated lift.
Level access to our Entrance Gallery and shop is available via a private staff area.

Can we bring lunch with us?
To protect the Museum's collection, food cannot be eaten inside the venue and only bottled water with a lid can be drunk within the Museum space. There are plenty of nearby cafes and restaurants within 10 minutes walk of the Museum, and if you intend on bringing your own lunch, our staff will be able to point you in the direction of the best place to eat inside (or outside) on campus.
