Cairo Launch Event at Sir John Soane's Museum

Penhaligon's had the pleasure of hosting the launch of the recent addition to the Trade Routes Collection, Cairo, within the halls of Sir John Soane's Museum. The Museum features the sarcophagus of Egyptian Pharoah Seti I. The Sarcophagus was discovered in 1817 by Italian explorer Giovanni Battista Belzoni. Formerly a circus strongman and irrigation engineer, this charismatic archaeologist led a series of expeditions in Egypt, the most successful of which was his discovery of the tomb of Seti I in the Valley of the Kings.
