The UCL Petrie Museum is hosting the exhibition 'Craft in the Countryside: Photographs from Fayoum Province, Egypt'.

The exhibition features photography by researcher Ibrahim Abd el Baset Ibrahim recording the life and work of villagers in Fayoum province, south of Cairo, in 2007.

The photographs are displayed around the archaeological finds excavated by Flinders Petrie in the same region a century ago.

The exhibition runs until 29 August 2009. It is open Tuesday - Thursday 1-5pm, and 11am - 2pm on Saturdays.
