Dear all, Apologies for cross-posting.
This summer the Bournemouth Natural Science Society (BNSS) in the UK is crowd-funding for the conservation and redisplay of their mummy Tahemma and all of the Egyptology collections. The project is called ‘Tahemaa Transformed’ and the funding aims to provide the collections with specialist conservation treatment, new high-quality displays and revised interpretation, making the collections more accessible and appealing to visitors. For this funding effort, we are using the Gofundme platform (www.tahemaa.com) and have already received many kind donations from the general public. While this is very much appreciated, we really want to find some bigger UK funding bodies that we can apply to, funders who might have any interest in this type of project and/or collection. Can anyone offer advice or suggestions on who we could approach? Societies or individuals, in or outside of the museum field. We are looking for between 1k-25k. Perhaps societies with an interest in archaeology or Egyptology or both! Any assistance and guidance would be very much appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you, With many thanks, Bethany Palumbo, ACR For anyone interested in learning more about this project please go to www.tahemaa.com for the gofundme page or www.bnss.org.uk for the Bournemouth Natural Science Society homepage. We were also joined by the Objectivity Youtube channel a few weeks ago who made a movie all about Tahemaa, please like and share if you do!
