World Museum Liverpool

We were invited to perform at the private view of the new Ancient Egypt gallery at World Museum Liverpool on Thursday 4 December. This took place in the evening, with the new gallery opening to the public the next day.

The gallery is on the second floor, but we danced in the museum's main foyer, beneath the pterodactyl skeleton suspended from the ceiling! As if this wasn't enough, we also got to share a changing room with one of the mini Superlambananas created for the Liverpool 08 European Capital of Culture.


Over the course of the evening we danced two sets. The first set used traditional music, costumes and dances while the second was more modern. After the second set we invited audience members to join in, and demonstrated some basic moves.

Once we had danced, we had a chance to visit the new gallery. It looked amazing, and our only regret was that there wasn't time to look around properly. You can follow the links from the museum blog here to find out more.
