Made in Ancient Egypt

From elaborately decorated coffins to the Books of the Dead, ancient Egyptians produced objects which remain iconic today. But who were the makers behind them and how were they made?

Shutter Hub Open 2026.

Shutter Hub Photography Open 2026

Mon 19 January - Thu 2 April

Alison Richard Building

Photography organisation Shutter Hub returns again to take over all four floors of the ARB building, covering the walls with hundreds of images submitted by international photographers and artists. All images are printed by Newspaper Club on recyclable newsprint.

The exhibition extends across all four floors of the building, accessible via stairs and lift.

You can vote for your favourite photographs in the exhibition to help choose the ‘Best in Show’. This is much more about audience participation than it is about big prizes, but it’s a fun and engaging way to involve more people in responding to photography.

Join us for the exhibition private view on 24 January, which will also launch a Pop-Up Photobook Library, available for browsing for the duration of the exhibition.

On Thursday 26 March, Shutter Hub Founder Karen Harvey MBE will give a curator’s talk and tour of the exhibition. This event is part of the Cambridge Festival 2026.
