Making dyes was an integral part of the textile industry in ancient Egypt.

In the Bionic Museum, visitors can learn about ancient Egyptian methods of dyeing
textiles in a recreated papyrus factory - both how they made and dressed their
fabrics. They also see two sets of mummies, one wearing a purple jacket and blue
jeans, and another wearing a blue jacket and green trousers. This gives us insights
into fashion trends over time!

The museum offers tours on Saturdays at 12:30pm for just £4 per person (included
with entrance). This is an extremely interesting tour that I heartily recommend to
anyone visiting London who is interested in learning more about one of its most
famous industries.
