LISTEN: Lyn Palmer from Maidstone Museum - 17/10/17

Kent's only Egyptian mummy has gone back on display. Ta-Kush, who died over 2,700 years ago, can be seen in Maidstone Museum's new gallery. It's been funded by a £78,000 Heritage Lottery Fund grant. The exhibition includes her decorative coffin and results of a recent hospital scan, which show her age and what she could have looked like.
