About this audio guide
This guide to the Civic Archaeological Museum in Bologna centers on the case of amulets in its Egyptian collection, and the ancient belief that shape, material and color all had to align for one to work. You will hear how priests prepared these objects and where they were placed on the mummified dead. Best heard standing at the amulet case near the start of the Egyptian rooms.
