</a> Flinders Petrie himself did not travel south of Aswan, and these items were acquired
through different channels after his death. While many of these are on display in
the Museum galleries—albeit tucked amongst the greater proportion of archaeological
material from Egypt—much of the Sudanese collection remains in storage due to historic
limitations of space. This paper presents an overview of the history of this collection,
how it has inspired creative engagement projects targeting diverse museum audiences,
and thoughts on future work.
