Meroë, fabled city of ancient Sudan, lay undisturbed for almost 2000 years. In the early 20th century, John Garstang excavated the site for the University of Liverpool. This exhibition features never before seen photographs of the African city and the excavation, alongside ancient artefacts, and replicas recreated using modern techniques.
