Welcome to the online home of the Leicester
Ancient Egypt Society.
We meet most months at
the New Walk Museum in Leicester, where you can expand your knowledge of
Ancient Egypt. Hear about the art, architecture, religious beliefs, the
intrigues of the Pharaohs and the lives of the ordinary people. Learn about
new discoveries from experts in the field.
Egyptologist Barry Kemp plus helper at LAES
lecture, in conjunction with New Walk Museums Egyptian Week
The
guest lecturers are usually professional Egyptologists with a national or
international reputation, and all are experienced speakers. Their
talks are designed for the non expert audience, and so no one need feel that
they would be out of their depth at our meetings.
The
talks are usually illustrated and the lecturers will normally take
questions, which can lead to stimulating debate!
The meetings are informal and usually end with refreshments when
members of the audience may have the opportunity of chatting with the guest
speaker.
The
‘Schedule’ page lists the speakers for the year, while details and benefits
of joining Leicester Ancient Egypt Society are on the ‘Membership’ page.
