Learn about hieroglyphs, a character-based system of writing used by the ancient Egyptians. Imagine you are a scribe in ancient Egypt as you practice writing these symbols using brush and ink on papyrus. Visit the featured exhibition Queen Nefertari: Eternal Egypt to hunt for hieroglyphs on ancient objects from daily life, monuments and tombs.
