A visual representation of stolen Egyptian wealth during colonial times

An English museum exhibition created a visual representation of the long history of stolen Egyptian wealth during colonial times. The exhibition showcases around 1,000 pieces, putting the owner of the trove — Anne Goodison — “within the broad, complicated history of collecting Egyptian objects under British imperialism,” Claire Voon writes for Hyperallergic. Goodison managed to amass her trove during just two visits to Egypt in the late 19th century, while it was under British colonial rule.
