Antiquities
As a child alongside her grandfather, Jan regularly visited the British Museum, as well as those in Oxford and Cambridge. It was during these trips that her distinctive ‘eye’ was first developed and honed, and her first love was always the Egyptian rooms. In the 1960s, she donated her pocket money to a school initiative supporting the relocation of Abu Simbel and a lifelong fascination followed, regularly visiting museums from Berlin to New York, and Turin to Cairo and Luxor.
