Seeing And Unseeing The Pyramids: Lee Miller in Egypt at Petrie Museum

An exciting free display at the Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology sheds light on the photography of surrealist artist Lee Miller in Egypt (1907-1977). ‘Seeing and Unseeing the Pyramids: Lee Miller in Egypt’ tells the story of how ‘Egypt’ has been constructed and deconstructed in the human imagination, drawing upon different perspectives over thousands of years.

This is the Petrie Museum’s first collaboration with Farleys, and their new display will weave stories from Lee Miller’s time in Egypt together with a range of ancient and modern narratives in the Petrie Museum.
