Spotlight on... Dr Anna Garnett

This week we meet Dr Anna Garnett, Curator for the UCL Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology, who gives us a sneak peek of the new addition to the Museum going on display in the New Year. What is your role and what does it involve? I'm the Curator for the UCL Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology, part of UCL Culture, which is one of the most important (and largest) collections of ancient and modern Egyptian and Sudanese objects anywhere in the world. It's a real jewel in UCL's crown! In my role, I care for this collection of over 80,000 objects and ensure that it is accessible for research, teaching and public outreach. How long have you been at UCL and what was your previous role?. I've been at UCL for almost four years now, and in the past I've worked across other University museum collections as well as national and local museums. My previous role was Project Curator at the British Museum, focusing on the excavation, study and publication of an ancient town called Amara West in northern Sudan, inhabited more than 3,000 years ago. What working achievement or initiative are you most proud of?.
