Make Your Own Mask

The New Walk Museum in Leicester has a fantastic Ancient Egypt Gallery, but don't worry if you can't make it there in the flesh.

The kind folk at Leicester Museums have put these great masks online in the Discovery Zone section of their website, for you to print out and make at home or at school.
